The book provides an insightful and detailed account of the social, cultural, and political life of Persia during the late 19th century. Wills, who was a British diplomat and orientalist, draws on his personal experiences and observations during his time in Persia to provide a comprehensive view of the country and its people. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Persian life. Wills discusses topics such as the Persian language, religion, customs, and traditions, as well as the country’s history and politics. He provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, cities, and villages of Persia, and offers insights into the daily lives of its people.Throughout the book, Wills presents a balanced view of Persia, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses. He notes the country’s rich cultural heritage, but also acknowledges its poverty and political instability. He describes the struggles of the Persian people in the face of foreign influence and domination, and offers his own opinions on how Persia can move forward and modernize.Overall, Persia As It Is: Being Sketches Of Modern Persian Life And Character is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in Persian history, culture, and society.
