Focusing on the life of Nasir al-Din Shah, who ruled for nearly fifty years until his assassination in 1896, the book presents a nuanced biography of this complex monarch often seen as indulgent. It delves into his character while also examining the broader implications of monarchy in modern Iran, providing insights into the political and cultural landscape of the time. This dual approach enriches the reader's understanding of both the individual and the institution he represented.
