Tehran farzandi dar damane rey (Teheran, a child in the cradle of Rey) Mohammad Naraghi

This monograph gives a detailed chronological overview of the history of this vast area of ??Iran. It tells, how the small village of Tehran has grown, and changed in different historical periods, transforming itself into the city that we know today as Teheran. This volume delivers a detailed picture of Teheran's development till the end of the reign of Fath Ali Shah Qajar. The Naseri and Pahlavi era will follow in a subsequent volume.

"My passion and enthusiasm to talk about this city was probably back to my childhood, when my father took me, and we were going towards old part of Tehran and while he was describing his own memories with such an excitation, I was becoming ecstatic and fond of those places. Later on, I become much more addicted to my father's habit and didn't miss any opportunity to enjoy going there. The words of the book describe my pure childish moments facing the city."--The Author
