During a lull in the tensions between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran, Matthew Stevenson set out from his home in Geneva, Switzerland, to ride a series of trains around the contours of Iran.

With a Kindle and a stack of railway maps and timetables in his backpack, he travels on a series of overnight trains to Mashhad, Esfahan, Yazd, and Shiraz, before flying home from Tehran.

In Tehran he visits the grounds where in 1979 American diplomats were held hostage, and in Mashhad he goes to the Imam Reza Holy Shrine and many of its mosques. To get around Esfahan he hires a bicycle.

His travel companions are a collection of histories, novels, and films about Persia and the Islamic Republic. Of Robert Byron, the English author of The Road to Oxiana (published in 1937), Stevenson writes: He had gone to all the places I was to see in Iran. In the end, I left behind my guidebook (even in print, I find guide-speak oppressive) and chose Byron as my in-print travel companion.

One of the few Western travelers to reach Iran in recent years, Stevenson, himself, is a delightful guide endlessly curious about the country that has dominated so many headlines in recent years.

Great simple thobe for the holidays
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
I would say this is a very stylish thobe that I used for Eid. Its not that polyester feel so during hot weather it is very comfortable to wear especially if you roll up the sleeve. It also doesnt feel light either so it does have a noticeable weight to it so you might thing you will sweat in it, but I didnt and I wore a white t shirt under neath. The sizing is true to size. The color is a nice black and not faded even after multiple washes. The over quality and value for the money is a great so definitely a buy. I also like the little accents. Simple yet classy.

Casual and comfortable
Great quality, soft and comfortable. The sleeves are a little longer than most, but the shirt is roomy enough to order a size smaller.

My Teen Son’s Favorite Shirt Right Now
This ended up becoming my teen son’s favorite shirt really quickly. He reaches for it all the time because it’s lightweight, comfortable, and easy to wear without feeling stiff or heavy. The material feels soft with a little stretch to it, and it holds up nicely after washing without coming out wrinkled. It also has a clean look to it that works for casual wear but still looks a little more put together than a basic t-shirt. It’s especially nice for warmer weather because the fabric breathes well and doesn’t feel clingy. Overall, this was a really good buy and one of those shirts that gets worn constantly because it just fits and feels good.
