| Summary/Abstract |
For many years, Iranian views of Britain have been unfavourable. Yet, perhaps counter-intuitively, very positive impressions of Britain were formed by the first small group of Iranians to visit London, nearly two hundred years ago. They commented on everything; constitutional monarchy, politics, foreign policy, economics, society and social issues. In many cases their views of Britain contrasted with their unfavourable views of their own country, reflecting an eagerness to see Iran emulate Britain and embrace Modernisation/Westernisation. Yet their views were not uncritical and they were as accurate and as well-founded as the views of Iran put forward by British observers of Iran like Curzon.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article will focus on the 1936 English language edition of The Ascent of Mount Stalin (Ascent hereafter). Ascent provides a firsthand account of the planning and progress of the expedition, the climbing of Mount Stalin, and the physical and human landscape in which it took place. The expedition was a major scientific and mountaineering event, which involved leading Soviet scientific and political figures. Mount Stalin was the highest point in the USSR and the highest outside of the Himalayas to have been climbed at the time.
