Inside Iran

The Islamic Republic of Iran is at the center of world attention politically, socially, and culturallybut it remains largely a cipher to the West. Award-winning photographer Mark Edward Harris has traveled throughout Iran to produce the first contemporary photographic book on a place seldom seen or understood. His images of daily life offer a fascinating look at a society of juxtapositionsancient and modern, commercial and spiritual, serene and intense, political and personal. With chapter introductions and extended captions providing context for the images, Inside Iran is a crucial look at a country whose future is likely to influence our own.

 

Mark Edward Harris has traveled and photographed in more than 70 countries and is the author of several books, mostrecently Inside North Korea. He lives in Los Angeles.

Abbas Kiarostami has written or directed more than twenty films. His film Taste of Cherry was awarded the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and international regard for his work from audiences, critics, and filmmakers such as Jean-Luc Godard, Akira Kurosawa, Chris Marker, and Martin Scorsese place him among the first rank of the masters of contemporary cinema. He lives in Tehran.
