Biography: religious & spiritual; Baha'i
Here is the translation of Kh�tir�t-i-Nuh-S�liy-i-'Akk�, the memoirs of Dr Youness Afroukhteh who served 'Abdu'l-Bah� as His trusted secretary and interpreter from 1900-1909. These were difficult years when the Master was imprisoned in the city of 'Akk�, His every move subject to misrepresentation by the Arch-breaker of the Covenant and his associates, and even His life in danger. At the same time the period saw the victories of the construction of the Shrine of the B�b and the House of Worship in 'Ishq�b�d, and the rise of the Cause of Bah�'u'll�h in the West. This important record, published in 1952 on the instructions of Shoghi Effendi, has been described as 'pre-eminent among those works dealing with the history of Covenant-breaking'. At the same time it chronicles the daily life in 'Akk� of 'Abdu'l-Bah� and of the little band of devoted believers whose chief joy in life was to be of service to Him; it also describes the pilgrimages to 'Akk� of many eminent early Western Bah�'�s including Thomas Breakwell, Hippolyte Dreyfus, Lua Getsinger and Laura Barney, the compiler of Some Answered Questions. Over those nine years Jin�b-i-Kh�n (the title by which Dr Youness Afroukhteh was honoured by 'Abdu'l-Bah�) served the Master in 'Akk� as secretary, translator, envoy and physician. His account of some of the most significant events of the period, his graphic and stirring pen-portraits of 'Abdu'l-Bah�, and the description of his own emotions - all expressed in a lively and at time mischievous language of humour and wit - make this volume uniquely memorable.
