Mirza Ali-Akbar-i-Nakhjavani

Mírzá 'Alí-Akbar-i-Nakhjavání (1865-1920) is a moving biography of an early believer who had a personal relationship with 'Abdu'l-Bahá. Mírzá 'Alí-Akbar translated many Bahá'í Tablets into Russian and, at 'Abdu'l-Bahá's request, corresponded with some of the leading literary figures of the time—including Leo Tolstoy and Isabella Grinevskaya. Mírzá 'Alí-Akbar-i-Nakhjavání also had the great honour of traveling with 'Abdu'l-Bahá as part of His entourage on His journey through North America in 1912. 'Abdu'l-Bahá's fondness for this young gentleman of the Caucasus is evident not only in the details of their interactions but in the many Tablets that the Master addressed to him.

More than just a biography, this book is a loving tribute written by a son whose own life of distinguished service is well-known to the Bahá'ís of the world, and who collected over the course of many years the documents and details that would illuminate the story of his father.
