Description
Two Centuries of Silence by Avid Kamgar is a thought-provoking exploration of Iran's tumultuous past. This translation of Do Gharn Sokoot sheds light on the country's struggle for freedom from Muslim Arab rule, revealing the key factors behind their success. The book delves into the reasons behind the Sasanian downfall and the subsequent silence that shrouded Iranian history and language for two centuries. It also examines how Farsi became a "lost" language during this period, and how Zoroastrian priests debated against Muslim faith in the face of overwhelming opposition. Through Professor Zarinkoob's narrative, readers can gain insight into the complexities of Iran's past and the cultural heritage that continues to shape the country today.
