Since the rediscovery of her work in the late 1980s, Annemarie schwarzenbach—journalist, traveler, archaeologist, opium addict, and antifascist novelist—has become a European cult figure among free spirited bohemian. Available in English for the first time and beautifully translated by Lucy renner Jones, death in persia is a collage of the political and the private, documenting schwarzenbach’s intimate feelings and public ideas during four trips to Persia between 1933 and 1939. From her reflections on individual responsibility in the lead-up to world War II to her reactions to accusations from her friends of having deserted Europe and the anti-fascist cause for Tehran, schwarzenbach recorded a great deal about daily life in Persia, and, most personally, her ill-fated love affair with jalé, the daughter of the Turkish ambassador. Chronologically preceding schwarzenbach’s exquisite travelogue all the roads are open, an account of her Automobile journey from Geneva to Afghanistan in 1939, death in persia is the enthralling diary of an astute observer standing at the crossroads of major events in history and a gorgeous new addition to Annemarie schwarzenbach’s growing English-language oeuvre.

Annemarie Schwarzenbach

Annemarie Schwarzenbach (23 May 1908 – 15 November 1942) was a Swiss writer, journalist and photographer. Her bisexual mother brought her up in a masculine style, and her androgynous image suited the bohemian Berlin society of the time, in which she indulged enthusiastically. Her pro-communist campaigning forced her into exile, where she became close to the family of novelist Thomas Mann. She would live much of her life abroad as a photo-journalist, embarking on many lesbian relationships, and experiencing a growing morphine addiction. In America, the young Carson McCullers was infatuated with Annemarie, to whom she dedicated Reflections in a Golden Eye. Schwarzenbach reported on the early events of World War II, but died of a head injury, following a fall.
