In the midst of Europe's nineteenth-century industrial revolution,
four men embarked on separate journeys to the wondrous Farangestan
- a land of fascinating objects, mysterious technologies, heavenly
women, and magical spaces. Determined to learn the secret of
Farangestan's advancements, the travelers kept detailed records of
their observations. These diaries mapped an aspirational path to
progress for curious Iranian audiences who were eager to change the
course of history. Two hundred years later, Travels in Farangi
Space unpacks these writings to reveal a challenging new
interpretation of Iran's experience of modernity. This book opens
the Persian travelers' long-forgotten suitcases, and analyzes the
descriptions contained within to gain insight into Occidentalist
perspectives on modern Europe. By carefully tracing the physical
and mental journeys of these travelers, the book paints a picture
of European architecture that is nothing like what one would
expect.
