Here is the long awaited translation of Khatirat i Nuh-Saliy i Akka, the memoirs of Dr.Yunis Afrukhtih who served Abdu l-Baha as His trusted secretary and interpreter from 1900-1909. These were difficult years when the Master was imprisoned in the city of Akka, 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 Bab and the House of Worship in Ishqabad, and the rise of the Cause of Baha u llah in the West.

This important historical record, published in 1952 on the instructions of Shoghi Effendi, has been described as preaeminent among those works dealing with the history of Covenantabreaking . At the same time it chronicles the daily life in Akka of Abdu l-Baha 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 Akka of many eminent early Western Baha is including Thomas Breakwell, Hippolyte Dreyfus, Lua Getsinger and Laura Barney, the compiler of Some Answered Questions.

Over those nine years Jinab-i-Khan (the title by which Dr. Yúnis Afrukhtih was honoured by Abdu l-Baha) served the Master in Akka 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-Baha, and the description of his own emotions all expressed in a lively and at times mischievous language of humour and wit make this volume uniquely memorable.
