Description

Book Synopsis: GRASS by Merian C. Cooper is the written account of the making of the motion picture “GRASS” which documents the caravan route from Angora (modern-day Ankara, Turkey) to the Bakhtiari lands in Persia (western Iran in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province and the eastern part of Khuzestan). Along with his compatriots, Ernest Schoedsack, and Marguerite Harrison, Cooper set out to film and document a way of life that was unknown to all those outside its realm. The film highlights the extreme hardships faced by nomadic peoples, as well as the bravery and ingenuity of the Bakhtiari on their migration in search of grass (= good seasonal pasture) for their animals. This was the first film made by the team of Cooper and Schoedsack, who went on make King Kong (1933) and many other films. Along with 64 photographs chronicling their travels, this book is one of the most interesting travelogues of the 20th Century.
