Khorasan (region)

"Khorasan (region)" as a book category designates works that focus on the historic and geographic region of Khorasan — roughly the northeastern Iranian plateau and adjacent parts of modern Iran, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and Central Asia — and its people, cultures and history. Titles in this category span history (pre‑Islamic to modern, including Sassanian, Islamic Golden Age, Seljuk and Timurid periods), archaeology, art and architecture, Islamic and Sufi intellectual and literary traditions (poetry, biographies of figures like Rumi, Attar, Omar Khayyam and others), travel writing and guidebooks, ethnography and languages, as well as contemporary politics, borderlands studies and fiction set in the region. Such books appeal to scholars and general readers interested in the Silk Road, trade and urban life (cities like Nishapur, Herat, Mashhad, Balkh and Marv), religious and cultural exchanges, and the region’s role in broader Middle Eastern and Central Asian history.
