Soroush, Abdol-Karim Sturdier Than Ideology [Persian
Iran 1375 NO ISBN Softcover Persian 382 6 x 9 inches Farbeh Tar Az Ideology فربه تر ا
This book is named after the most important article in it which discusses the subject of making religion equal to an ideology, and the role of the late Dr Shariati in doing so. By ``making religion equal to an ideology'', he means making out of religion a codified system, bereft of the element of perplexity, which is used as a weapon and is foe-generating and foe-seeking, and in particular stresses hatred more than it stresses love. He also points out that for making religion equal to an ideology it is necessary that there be an official group of interpreters for it; this being harmful to the religion, and even contrary to the late Ali Shariati's own view, seeing that he was not pleased with the clergy and did not regard their existence as an official class befitting to the religion's true esteem.

Zahedi, Ardeshir The Memoirs of Ardeshir Zahedi, Volume 1
Ibex Publishers 2006 1588140385 Hardcover Persian 762 6 x 9 inches Khaterat Ardeshir Zahedi
اردشير زاهدی از دو حاندان سياسی نسب
می برد. پدرش، سپهبد فضلالله زاهدی، نخست وزير و چهره سرشناس نظامی و سياسی دوران
پهلوی و پدر بزرگ مادری او، ميرزا نصرالله خان مشيرالدوله، نخستين صدراعظم ايران در
دوره مشروطه بود.
زندگی اردشير زاهدی يک زندگی
پرماجراست. نوجوان بود که پدرش، در مقام فرماندهی لشگر اصفهان، توسط قوای اشغالگر
بازداشت و به زندانی در خارج از ايران منتقل شد. پس از آن برای ادامه تحصيل به
امريکا رفت و از بازگشتش به ايران چيزی نگذشته بود که درگير ماجراهای منتهی به
وقايع 25 تا 28 مرداد شد. در دوران نخست وزيری پدرش، رابط ميان شاه و نخست وزير
بود. چند سال بعد با دختر محمدرضا شاه ازدواج کرد و گرچه اين ازدواج به جدايی
انجاميد او همچنان دوست نزديک و محرم اسرار پادشاه باقی ماند و اين رابطه تا پايان
سلطنت و پايان حيات شاه ادامه يافت.
اردشير زاهدی در دو دهه آخر سلطنت
محمد رضا شاه دو بار سفير ايران در امريکا، يکبار سفير ايران در انگلستان و از سال
1345 تا 1350 وزير امور خارجه بود.
خاطرات اردشير زاهدی گزارش يک زندگی
پرحادثه و در عين حال داستان يک دوره از تاريخ ايران است.
Ardeshir Zahedi is a descendant of two families that have shaped the history
of modern Iran. His father, Fazlollah Zahedi (1897û1963), served as prime
minister and was an important political and military figure of the Pahlavi
period. His maternal grandfather, Nasrollah Khan Moshir od-Dowleh, served as the
first prime minister of Iran after the establishment of the constitution in
1907.
Ardeshir Zahedi has led a very eventful life. During World War II, when
Ardeshir was twelve, his father, who was the commander of the Isfahan division,
was arrested by the occupying allied forces and imprisoned in Palestine.
After completing his college education at Utah State University, Ardeshir
returned to Iran to become deputy director of the Point Four Program. During the
tumultuous events of the summer of 1953, he was at his fatherÆs side and during
General ZahediÆs premiership (1953-1955) he was the liason between the prime
minister and the Shah Mohammad-Reza Pahlavi.
In 1957 he married the ShahÆs firstborn, Princess Shahnaz. Princess Mahnaz, the
ShahÆs first grandaughter was born a year later. Although the couple separated
in 1964, Ardeshir still remained a close confidant and friend of the Shah until
the monarchÆs death in 1980.
In the last two decades of the Pahlavi dynasty, Ardeshir Zahedi served as
ambassador to the United States, to the Court of Saint James and five years as
foreign minister of Iran. During his diplomatic career he took an active role in
the United Nations discussions after the Arab-Israeli war in 1967 and in the
preparation of the first Islamic Conference Summit. As the head of the Iranian
Delegation to the United Nations General Assembly, he signed the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty. In 1977 Zahedi played a key role in the release of
more than 165 hostages during the Hanafi hostage incident in Washington DC.
The Memoirs of Ardeshir Zahedi are the chronicles of an eventful life and at
the same time relate over sixty years of Iranian history.
He presently resides in Switzerland.
