The Persian Sphinx Book by Abbas Milani

The Persian Sphinx

The Persian Sphinx book is about Amir-Abbas Hoveyda, one of the prime ministers of the Pahlavi regime, who was fascinated by literature and a prolific reader of the great French poets. Hoveyda had a special interest in the intellectual community: Sadegh Hedayat, Sadegh Chubak and Ebrahim Golestan were close friends, all of which show that he was a special person. This Book is one of the leading monographs in the field of contemporary historiography. Milani spent six years gathering information about the book, and eventually wrote this Book through various interviews, references, and documents and first-hand information from anyone who knew about it.
