520    When he was assassinated in 1896, Nasir al-Din Shah had 
       sat on the Peacock throne for nearly half a century. A 
       colorful, complex figure, he is frequently portrayed as 
       indolent and self-indulgent. Yet he was in many ways an 
       effective ruler who displayed exceptional resilience in 
       the face of dilemmas and vulnerabilities shared by most 
       monarchs of the Islamic world in the nineteenth century. 
       In this book-the first in English about Nasir al-Din Shah-
       Abbas Amanat gives us both a biography of the man and an 
       analysis of the institution of monarchy in modern Iran. 
       Nasir al-Din Shah developed from an insecure crown prince 
       and later an erratic boy-king in the 1840s and '50s into a
       ruler with substantial control over his government and 
       foreign policy in the 1860s and beyond. Amanat examines 
       this transformation and explores how traditional 
       monarchies drew strength as they accommodated themselves 
       to the forces of modernity. Based on extensive archival 
       research in both public and private collections, Pivot of 
       the Universe offers a fresh interpretation of the 
       evolution of monarchy in modern times as it interacted 
       with the institutions of government, the society at large,
       and Western powers.
