Penned several years BEFORE the Islamic revolution by Seyyed Hadi Khosrow-Shahi, the book “Sobhi’s life memories and Baha’i history” has been published once more by IRI.
Known as Sobhi, Mohammad Hassan Mohtadi’s son, Fazlollah Mohtadi is among Kashan’s Bahá’ís. He traveled to Central Asia and many points in Iran as Bahaism propagandist.
Years after being ‘Abdul Baha’s confidant he abandoned their company due to financial, political and moralities abuses.
Departing from Baha’is he became a teacher and in 1940 he became a storyteller in radio. Storytelling tradition was established by him in Iran.
His memories were published in 1933 in Tehran’s Knowledge Press, it was titled “Sobhi’s book”. The second volume, “The Father’s Massage”, was published in 1956.
The importance of his memories is being considered in two ways; firstly his character and then the content of his memories that are on Bahai Faith’s history and their operation.
“Sobhi’s Life Memories and Bahaism History” contain two volumes (Sobhi’s book and The Father’s Massage) that have been published before the Islamic Revolution.
IRI has again published this book in 510 pages UNCENSORED.
