{"product_id":"summon-up-remembrance-9780853982593","title":"Summon Up Remembrance","description":"The fascinating story of a pleasure-seeking Persian boy who became one of 'Abdu'l-Bah 's leading English translators and united East and West in the first Persian-American Bah '  marriage. Here is the colourful story of Ali-Kuli Khan, the first to translate into English such important works as the 'Seven Valleys', the 'Kit b-i- q n', and the Glad-Tidings. Told by his daughter, herself a well-known author and translator, Khan's story is based on his memoirs and personal papers. Through them we are given a unique and detailed picture of life in Persia at the end of the century, complete with an explanation of that oft-met protocol 'ta' ruf'. We follow the young Khan, dressed as a dervish, on his adventurous walk to 'Akk  and note his transformation from a frivolous youth to a skilled translator for 'Abdu'l-Bah . In his nearly two years as a member of 'Abdu'l-Bah 's household, Khan both translated for those first groups of American pilgrims to visit the Holy Land and rendered 'Abdu'l-Bah 's Tablets into English. In 1901 Khan was sent to America to assist M rz  Abu'l-Fadl and to translate the great teacher's book, The Bah '  Proofs, into English. It was in America that Khan met and fell in love with a Boston society girl, Florence Breed. Their Victorian romance unfolds in the delicate love-letters written by Florence to Khan. Their marriage, the first between a Persian and an American Bah ' , not only symbolized but portrayed the unity between East and West taught by the Bah '  Faith. 'Summon Up Remembrance' is peopled with such familiar figures as M rz  Abu'l-Fadl, Laura Barney, Edward and Lua Getsinger, Mary Hanford Ford and the At bak. But this is a book dedicated to 'Abdu'l-Bah , and it is His wisdom and teaching that characterizes it. A unique feature is the inclusion of the Tablet of Cremation revealed by 'Abdu'l-Bah , here published for the first time in English in a new translation by the Research Department of the Universal House of Justice. The story continues in Arches of the Years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-573617\"\u003eMarzieh Gail\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e George Ronald Publisher Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780853982593\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0853982597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL005000\"\u003eBaha' i\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George Ronald Publisher Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44547604545773,"sku":"9780853982593","price":35.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_cebebef2-cc05-4270-8d7d-b1ae6661fb02.jpg?v=1701624772","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/summon-up-remembrance-9780853982593","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
