Queer Things About Persia is a book written by Eustache De Lorey in 1907. The book is an account of the author's experiences and observations during his travels in Persia, which is now known as Iran. De Lorey was a French diplomat who spent several years in Persia, and his book provides a unique perspective on the country's culture, customs, and society during the early 20th century.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Persian life. Some of the topics covered in the book include Persian architecture, art, literature, religion, and politics. De Lorey also describes the daily life of Persians, including their clothing, food, and social customs.One of the most interesting aspects of the book is De Lorey's observations on gender and sexuality in Persia. He notes that Persian society had a more relaxed attitude towards homosexuality than many Western countries at the time. He also describes the practice of bacha bazi, which involved young boys being trained as dancers and entertainers and sometimes being used for sexual purposes.Overall, Queer Things About Persia is a fascinating and insightful account of a country that was largely unknown to Western audiences at the time of its publication. The book provides a valuable historical perspective on Persian culture and society, and it remains an important work for anyone interested in the history of the Middle East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
