Hardback. Condition: New. Set against the backdrop of Iran s struggle against the rising powers of Russia and Britain, the memoirs of Mirza Riza Khan Arfa -ed-Dowleh otherwise known as Prince Arfa (1853 1902) are packed with picaresque adventures as the prince tells the story of his rise from humble provincial beginnings to the heights of the Iranian state. With this translation, his incredible story is brought to life for the first time in English. Prince Arfa writes with arresting wit about the deadly intrigues of the Qajar court.

The result is a memoir of extraordinary political intrigue. ".…
