To better understand the cultural issues and paradoxes facing Iranians and Afghans today, the author
Drinking Arak off an Ayatollah''s Beard is Nicholas Jubber’s unconventional and captivating journey through modern Iran and Afghanistan - a journey which sheds light on present day conflicts through the prism of a thousand year old poem, the 11th-century epic, the Shahnameh ("Book of Kings").
Travelling from underground dance parties in Tehran to the opium dens of Helmand province, Jubber discovers traces of the vibrant, pre-Islamic, Persian culture that is still wholesome and blossoming today.
