Shoghi Effendi: Recollections by Ugo Giachery

Ugo Giachery writes in his preface, "The date of November 4th, 1957, will remain for the author of these Recollections the day of anguish, of sorrow and bewilderment. In a modest hotel in the city of London, the earthly, fruitful life of Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, came abruptly, and unexpectedly, to an end. To the writer, it was as if the light of wisdom, solace and righteousness had been extinguished forever: something similar to an apocalyptic darkening of ths planet." Shoghi Effendi: Recollections recounts in loving detail personal recollections of Dr. Giachery that are based on the nine years of close association with Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of Bahai Faith. This book provides an intimate, perceptive and affectionate portrayal of the Shoghi Effendi. It contains historical photographs of people, places and architecture relevant to the events, as well as includes a glossary of architectural and building terms.
