Narration of traveling
The eleventh issue of Angah arrived in our home at a time when we prefer to stay indoors and have ceased traveling. This is another advantage of this issue; it will take us on an unexpected journey through entertaining content.
Angah, as usual, tackles its subject from a variety of views, and this issue’s subject is “Travel”. In the beginning of this issue you can read an article by Mansour Zabetian called “Travel makes us humans kinder”. Saeid Firoozabadi’s piece “Glorious palm groves” is about a flight above Iran’s skies and Walter Holster’s travelogue. Touraj Daryaei’s article “Let me take you to see Iran” chronicles his travels with Iraj Afshar. “Traveling through other realms, whether spiritual or physical, helps us grow,” says Banousheh Farhat in her piece “Consequently, The Earth Became the Seventh Planet.” Shows us our inner dark spots and guides us through the process of illuminating them one by one. Travel means a large book, as well as wisdom and understanding. The deeper the understanding, the deeper the human relationship. Relationships that transcend hereditary borders, relationships that are generated from the human soul.”
In addition, there are essays and articles regarding the image of Iranians in foreign travel literature, travel in film and literature, and trip narratives by Iranian travelers.
Aside from conversations with Issa Omidvar, Iran Darroudi, Manouchehr Tayab, and Jasem Ghazbanpour, there are travel photographs by Yalda Moaieri, Jasem Ghazbanpour, Maryam Mazraei, Niosha Tavakolian, Hoda Rostami, Mahdi Vosoughnia, and others.
