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.
