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.

Good cotton shirt

Nice shirt for low price AND 100% cotton! Prepare for shrinkage with warm water wash and medium heat dryer. Use cold water and hang dry to keep length

Decent polo
Size: X-Large, Color: Red
Decent quality, I ordered XL which fit loose until I washed/dried it now it fits pretty good. I will say the neck hole is rather large compared to my more expensive polos

Could be 5 but it’s 3 stars
Size: Small, Color: Bright Emerald Green
These polos considering the price and more than decent quality in general, are easy 5 stars plus… however quality control needs to step it up.. these shirts are hits and misses and you never know what your going to get. This green polo was a miss. The left shoulder has an overlap on the seam at the should and sleeve of which creates a horn like effect when wearing the shirt. Looks like the outfits worn by villains in the power rangers series. But like I said, can easily be 5+ stars and even on this defective shirt, the material is very good for the price. I recommend these polos but just expect a few will defective.
