Don Juan of Persia: A Shi'Ah Catholic - Paperback

by G. Le Strange (Translator)

Don Juan of Persia: A Shi'Ah Catholic is a book written by G. Le Strange that tells the story of a remarkable man named Don Juan of Persia. Born in the late 16th century in Persia, Don Juan was a member of the Shi'ah Muslim community, but he converted to Catholicism at a young age. This conversion set him on a path that would lead him on a journey across the world, as he sought to spread the word of his faith and find a place where he could practice it freely.Over the course of his life, Don Juan encountered many challenges and obstacles, including persecution from both the Muslim and Catholic communities. However, he remained steadfast in his beliefs and continued to work tirelessly to promote understanding and tolerance between different religious groups.Through the use of historical documents and personal accounts, Le Strange paints a vivid picture of Don Juan's life and the world in which he lived. The book provides a fascinating insight into the religious and cultural landscape of Persia during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, and sheds light on the experiences of a man who defied convention and followed his own path. Overall, Don Juan of Persia: A Shi'Ah Catholic is a compelling and thought-provoking read that will appeal to anyone with an interest in history, religion, or the human experience.1926.
