He served and advised at the royal courts of kings Cambyses and Darius, and was the author of the plan that exposed and ended the illegitimate reign of an imposter who had usurped the Persian throne circa 522 BCE. His ideas on democracy and freedom of the individual were centuries ahead of their time, but may have directly influenced those later articulated by Thomas Jefferson. Now an independent spirit, his own recollections of life in ancient Persia, as well as his informed analysis of other significant milestones since, give broad and persistent historical context to \u003ci\u003eOdyssey in White Satin\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":67170851192947,"sku":"9781503056923","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_ea5e0f8c-8d98-4e03-9546-64c2cead398d.jpg?v=1794417550","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/odyssey-in-white-satin-9781503056923","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
