May his soul frolic with the angels; may his spirit and legacy nestle in the hearts and minds of posterity. Parvardegar rahmatet koneh ey marde nazanin.

Iran will never forget her great men
by asghar62 on Tue Apr 21, 2009 03:21 PM PDTI remember when Mr. Amini's book, "Letters from Ahmadabad" was first publish, when I ordered the book and I asked him to sign it for me and he gracefully did.
I enjoyed reading that book.
Iran lost one of her great children on Monday.
Dear Mrs. Fatemi and dear Fariba please accept my deepest sympathies.
To be emulated & my condolences

Too sad right now
by sima on Tue Apr 21, 2009 08:59 AM PDTA lot can be said of Mr. Amini but ultimately his phenomenal memory will speak for him in the records he has left behind. I will always regret not having heard more from him, not having sat with him longer, not having asked more questions, not, not, not... I feel too sad right now for having lost a terribly dear family friend, and not being able to be with the family, to say much. But I also mourn the loss of many stories and memories and observations that have gone away with him. He was a treasure house of narrative.
Ey Iran is the best tribute to him. Thank you Mr. Kadivar. Not too many people deserve to have the national anthem played at their passing.
Rest in peace, Mr. Amini
by Asghar_Massombagi on Tue Apr 21, 2009 08:51 AM PDTLast of the giants. What if men (and women) of Amini's calibre would've been given the chance to steer the ship of nation for a while longer. Here is a great tasnif from Maestro Shajarian in memory of all those who are no longer with us, including Mirsafi, the murdered blogger. Yadeshan yadbad:

End of an era
by Iranian Reader on Tue Apr 21, 2009 08:46 AM PDTThere are people who symbolize so much that it is impossible not to lapse into generalities at their passing. But nothing less can be said of Nosratollah Amini that with his passing an era of a certain vision for authonomy and freedom in Iran has come to a close. May his legacy, which is the legacy of Mosadegh, inspire the next era in Iran.
Great man
by Jahanshah Javid on Tue Apr 21, 2009 08:01 AM PDTMr. Amini had been bed-ridden for many years. But when I last saw him, he was alert and very much up to date on current affairs. You could see that in the prime of his life and especially in the years after the 1953 coup, he must have been someone Dr. Mossadegh could rely on during his exile.
My deepest sympathies to Mrs Amini and the children, especially Fariba -- who have always carried their father's spirit of public service with great integrity.
