The history of the Jews, like that of other people, is cloaked in the guise of metaphors, legends, and myths. Indeed, in many instances the myths have replaced the historic events. "Az Orshalim ta Orshalim" is an effort to distinguish the Jewish history which is based upon documented historical and anthropological evidence from the portions derived from myths. The prominent characteristics of the book is its balanced, objective and impartial analysis of the Jewish history; unique features that have been hardly encountered on this subject in the Persian publications.
