【Summary】
The author was a religious scholar, political activist, and a member of the first National Consultative Assembly. After the parliament was shelled and while evading arrest, he fled to Mashhad. This travelogue provides a detailed account of that journey and discusses social and political conditions, contemporary issues, and references to Iran’s ancient history. The work criticizes oppression and the excesses surrounding forced modernization, and offers a clear example of the language and intellectual outlook of Constitutional-era literature.
