Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - What made Iran, Iran The answer begins in 1501, when a teenage mystic-warrior named Ismail rode into Tabriz with an army of fanatical followers and declared himself Shah of Persia. Within a decade, he had conquered a fractured land, imposed Twelver Shi'a Islam at the point of a sword, and set in motion a chain of events that would echo for five centuries.The Safavid Empire ruled Persia for over two hundred years - and no dynasty before or since has left a deeper mark on the country we know as Iran.This is their story.At its height, the Safavid Empire was one of the great powers of the early modern world. Its capital, Isfahan, was among the most beautiful cities on earth - a monument to Persian genius in architecture, art, and urban design that stunned every European who laid eyes on it. Its armies clashed with the Ottoman Empire in a rivalry that defined the Muslim world for generations. Its merchants controlled the global silk trade. Its scholars, poets, and painters produced masterworks that still take the breath away.But behind the glory lay a darker story. Of a dynasty that kept its own princes locked in palace cages, producing rulers too broken to lead. Of tribal warlords and ambitious clerics who continuously threatened the throne. Of a faith imposed by force that slowly transformed into genuine mass devotion. And of a final, catastrophic collapse - one of history's most shocking imperial endings - when Afghan tribesmen dismantled a superpower in a matter of months.The Safavid Empire tells this full story with clarity, drama, and authority. From the mystical origins of the Safavid order in Ardabil, through the golden age of Abbas the Great, to the twilight years and the rise of Nadir Shah, this is the definitive single-volume history of a dynasty that the world has too long overlooked.You will discover:How a minor Sufi brotherhood became the rulers of a vast empireThe traumatic battle of Chaldiran and its century-long consequencesHow Abbas the Great rebuilt a failing empire into a global superpowerThe stunning art, architecture, and intellectual life of Safavid IsfahanThe role of Shi'a clergy - and how they outlasted the dynasty itselfWhy the Safavid collapse was so sudden, and so completeHow the Safavid legacy shapes Iranian identity, politics, and religion to this dayAnd much more.Whether you are a longtime student of Middle Eastern history or discovering this world for the first time, The Safavid Empire offers an essential key to understanding one of the most consequential - and most misunderstood - chapters in the history of civilization.The empire fell. Its legacy never did.…
