Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. Text is in English and Farsi. 114 pages in English, approximately the same number in Farsi. Color illustrations. Footnotes (some appear to be in Russian). Volume One only. [There is a second volume with a slightly different title, with a different translator, different place of publication.--offered separately.] Tajik is a general designation for a wide range of Persian-speaking people of Iranian origin, with traditional homelands in present-day Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. As a self-designation, the term Tajik, which earlier on had been more or less pejorative, has become acceptable only during the last several decades, particularly as a result of Soviet administration in Central Asia. The Samanid Empire, also known as the Samanid dynasty. The Samanid state was founded by four brothers; Nuh, Ahmad, Yahya, and Ilyas-each of them ruled their own territory under Abbasid suzerainty. In 892, Isma'il ibn Ahmad (892-907) united the Samanid state under one ruler, thus effectively putting an end to the feudal system used by the Samanids. It was also under him that the Samanids became independent of Abbasid authority. Emomali Rahmon (born 5 October 1952) is a Tajik politician who has served as President of Tajikistan (or its equivalent post) since 1992. During the early years of his presidency, Rahmon faced a civil war in which up to 100,000 people died. In 2013, he was elected to a fourth term in office. In March 2007, Rahmonov changed his surname to Rahmon, getting rid of the Russian-style "-ov" ending. Rahmon explained that he had done so out of respect for his cultural heritage. Following the move, scores of governments officials, members of parliament, and civil servants around the country removed Russian-style patronymics and "-ov" endings from their surnames. Rahmon is a Sunni Muslim and he has frequently stressed his Muslim background even though his administration is engaged in a relentless campaign against public displays of Islamic devotion. During a 2010 Organisation of the Islamic Conference session hosted in Dushanbe, Rahmon spoke against what he deemed was the misuse of Islam toward political ends, claiming that "Terrorism, terrorists, have no nation, no country, no religion . [U]sing the name 'Islamic terrorism' only discredits Islam and dishonors the pure and harmless religion of Islam." Presumed first edition/first printing thus.…
