«El anticuario de Teherán» is the memoir of diplomat Jorge Dezcallar, published by Ediciones Península in paperback (596 pages, in Spanish).
The book opens with a Tehran antique dealer asking him to deliver a necklace to his daughter, and continues with his diplomatic postings in Morocco, Washington and Rome. Among ministers, kings, actors and presidents, conflicts with Morocco, the offer of a Velázquez to MoMA in exchange for the Guernica, and a war with Russia forgotten for two hundred years all pass by.
Born in Palma de Mallorca in 1945, Dezcallar was ambassador to the Holy See and director of the National Intelligence Centre between 2001 and 2004.
A book for readers of political memoirs and recent Spanish history, with an interest in diplomacy and international relations.
