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.

Very good brand
Size: 1.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Nice quality, is good for sensitive skin, I use it every night before sleep, the prize is good though is cheaper in my local farmacy, the size is average, the skin absorbs it pretty good, and is very lightweight.

Incredibly hydrating but unbearable scent.
Size: 1.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I love all Avène skin barrier creams, recovery lotions and i just purchased this "Hydrance" cream. Texture is nice, it's unbelievably hydrating but the scent is overwhelming. It caused me a headache. So I decided to return it. Then I thought I'll give it another try and Oh my.... For the love of God, remove that awful scent. The reason I love Avène product is because theyre unscented, except this one I guess :/

My favorite bodywash to use right now!
I love Dove products overall but the bodywash is probably my favorite to use from this line! The fragrance is extremely appealing, smells so wonderful and makes me feel extra refreshed after using! It is definitely worth buying for the bottle size because its huge. It leaves a gentle beautiful soothing touch and you smell phenomenal on top of that! If you love the scent Cherry Blossom or any floral scents? Get it! You will love this, trust me :)
