Gouy-o-Chogân: The ball and the polo stick in history, culture and art of Iran.= Guy va chugan: Der gustere tarikh, farhang va hanr Iran. English translation by Shirin Samii. [BOXED].
New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. In publisher's special box. Folio. (34 x 25 cm). In English and Persian (parallel text in all descriptions of visual materials; historical texts also bilingual in English and Persian separate). 12, [3], 585 p., many color and b/w ills. and photos. Gouy-O-Chogân: The ball and the polo stick in history, culture and art of Iran.= Guy va chugan: Der gustere tarikh, farhang va hanr Iran. English translation by Shirin Samii. [BOXED]. According to historical documents, the polo game in Iran is more than 3000 years old and has been uninterrupted throughout history and has become so intertwined with the history, culture, art and literature of Persian land that it has become part of every Iranian's identity. There are thousands of important historical documents from the polo game about different periods of history, some of which are mentioned in this book. The role of the polo and the polo stick, the spread of this game dating back 3000 years to the empires of Zoroastrianism, Achaemenid and Sasanid, and the continuation of it to the present day, is clearly seen in the seals found in the archaeological excavations in the large plateaus of Iran. One of the most important challenges of this study was the lack of reliable researches and sources of polo game from the prehistoric period to the Achaemenid period and the dispersal of recorded sources from the Achaemenid Empire to the Islamic period of Iran. Undoubtedly, if more extensive researches are done in different periods of ancient Iranian history, more and more traces of the game of polo can be traced and recorded. Contents: THe Achaemenid Empire.; Simultaneous development of the body and the mind.; Local governments of Persian Kings.; The history of Iran as described by Cambridge.; Arthur Upam Pope.; The Parthian Empire.; The Sassanid Empire.; The written customs of the Sassanid Era.; A part of the teaching of polo (from the book of Aeen Namak).; The language of polo in the Sassanid Era.; Army medals or Sassanid emblems.; Chogandar (the person responsible for the game of polo).; Polo in the Nasr Samanid Era.; Polo in Ghaznavid and Seljuq Era.; Naqsh-e Jahan Square.; Ali Qapoo.; Charles Richard.; Shah Abbas's love for polo.; Horse riding and polo playing of women in the Safavid Era.; Teahouses and Zoorkhaneh in the Safavid Era.; The travelogue of the Shirley Brothers at the time of Shah Abbas the Great.; The Qajar Era.; The Pahlavi Era.; Polo in the Iranian Armed Forces.; Polo in the contemporary era.; Thee history of the game of polo.; The role of the horse in the history and culture of Iran.; Kurdish horses.; The Caspian horses.

HALIDE EDIB [ADIVAR], (1884-1964).
[TURANISM IDEAL BY FEMALE TURKISH AUTHOR] Yeni Turan. [i.e. The new Turan].
Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. Foxing on the cover, stains on some pages, chipping on extremities. Wear on the spine, creasing on covers. Overall a fair/good copy. Foolscap 8vo. (18 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). [1], 188 p. Exceedingly rare first edition of this utopian novel reflects the nationalist atmosphere of the period and mostly reflects the problem of how women will serve Turkish nationalism as an ideology and realizes this through the protagonist of the novel named Kaya. Halide Edib [or Edio] Adivar was a Turkish novelist, teacher, ultranationalist and feminist intellectual. She was best known for her novels criticizing the low social status of Turkish women and what she saw from her observation as the lack of interest of most women in changing their situation. She was a Pan-Turkist and several of her novels advocated for the Turanism movement. The term "Turan" is of Iranian origin and is believed to refer to a prehistorical human society in Central Asia. Turanism, also known as pan-Turanianism, pan-Turanism, or simply Turan, is a pseudoscientific pan-nationalist cultural and political movement proclaiming the need for close cooperation, or political unification between people who are claimed by its supporters to be culturally, linguistically or ethnically related and to have Inner and Central Asian origin, such as the Turks, Mongols, Tungus, Hungarians, Finns, Estonians, and other smaller ethnic groups, as a means of collaborating towards shared interests and opposing the cultural and political influences of the powers of Europe and East Asia. It was born in the 19th century to counter the effects of pan-nationalist ideologies such as pan-Germanism and built upon the ideas of pan-Slavism (e.g. the idea of a "Turanian brotherhood and collaboration" was borrowed from the pan-Slavic concept of "Slavic brotherhood and collaboration"). Özege 23283.; TBTK 9514.; OCLC 30967237, 837373403, 754970926. (Utopias from the Middle East 7).
