The book takes the interested person from the origins with the first inhabitants and from the first great Persian Empire to the twilight years of the Islamic Golden Age. With the book in hand, people imitate the arts and crafts, learn to write and calculate in cuneiform and make the games that originated here and became popular in Europe. The atmosphere of Persian Islam in the Middle Ages is reflected in the stories of 1001 nights and associated drawing and painting assignments. Janey also describes the great poetry from this time with names such as Hafez, Rumi, Aatar and Mahsati Ganjavi with a start to her own timeless poems and calligraphy. Science takes shape through the creation of geometric patterns and the perfect Persian calendar. Finally, special attention is paid to the role of women. The book closes Janey with some old, authentic recipes. (Source: Simurgh Education)
