  Persian Pictures

  Gertrude Bell

  In 1892, Gertrude Bell visited Persia (now Iran) shortly after the appointment of her uncle, Sir Frank Lascelles, as British minister in Tehran. Three years later came Persian Pictures, Gertrude Bell’s first written work, which presents a series of vivid sketches of Persian culture and society at the time. Bell explores various cities and landscapes, and encounters local characters along the way, providing a unique perspective on Persian life and customs. While much of what is depicted in Persian Pictures has long since changed, Bell’s writing is a valuable account of the anachronisms and inconsistencies of the dying dynasty of medieval Persia. Her depiction of Muharram – the month of mourning for Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Mohammed – and Ramadan, display a mind finely attuned to the differences and similarities between Islam and Christianity, and East and West. Persian Pictures is both travelogue and meditation – an elegiac and beautifully observed account of a spellbinding land.

  Since these stories are often pretty straightforward, you’ll need a simple plan for learning effectively with them. To get the most out of your short story, I suggest this three-step approach: 
  Read the story for the gist, not the details. Focus on trying to understand the main ideas of the story: the characters, the major plot developments and the setting. 
  Read it again, but this time, do a careful read. Highlight or underline unknown words, phrases or grammatical constructions that are unfamiliar to you. Once you finish this read, translate all the unfamiliar words and phrases and write them down in a notebook or on flashcards to help you remember them later. 
  Use the translations to read the story one final time. This allows you to understand the text fully and have quick access to the translations and explanations.

  Don't Count the Kilometres Make...

  It sounds unlikely, but this book is every possible aspect of the walker/writer genre in one beautifully seamless contemplation. Personal, anecdotal, psychogeographic, psychological, physiological, and spiritual understandings and stories weave around the profoundly practical, deeply kind, and grounded guidance of somebody with 7000s of kilometres and 7000s of insights and deep generosity of spirit.Joao shares his own unfolding inner and outer path with disarming humility and honesty and describes the journeys of his many participants with a lightness of touch that belies the profound transformations that people from all walks of life (pun intended) have discovered on the many Caminos described here.As well as this there is detailed advice on particular routes, where to stay, when to walk and how to do it which trump any walking guide I have read. It really is an instruction manual for a more intentional and fulfilling life and will leave you itching to go outside and begin.For those on a long walk or traveling light, this is the only book you will need.The best way to experience these pages will require walking shoes and the will to walk. Preferably along a path that leads to Nature. Because nothing beats reality, and the reality of Walking Mentorship is waiting for you out of doors.All the stories that appear in this book are real, and Joao tries to tell them as clearly and in detail as his mind remembers.He changed the name of the majority of the characters and avoided making any specific references related to real life.Finally, a note about the book itself: I am not sure this is a book. At times, it seemed like a diary; other moments, like a travel guide, and some days, I even looked at it as a manual.Use it in the best possible way. What you are about to open is just a door.After reading these pages, you might feel the urge to step outside and go for a long stroll. Don´t worry, that is normal.Keep walking
