Description
This is the fascinating, real-life story of the son of a poor Persian rice farmer who rose to become the most illustrious disciple of the Báb.
Thoroughly researched and broad in scope, it is a story of the rugged journey, filled with pathos and exhilarating triumph at every turn, during the five short, eventful years he spent in absolute servitude to the Báb. We experience the vivid details of a life which left no room for settling down, as he valiantly approached the centre of an intense, ever-increasing maelstrom at the very inception and birth of a new world religion, fraught with opposition and intrigue, yet filled with spiritual confirmations culminating in an unprecedented climax.
