Produktbeschreibung
This is the first comprehensive account of the life of Hippolyte Dreyfus-Barney, who is generally known as the first French Bahá ' í . He was one of the few early Western Bahá ' í s who had a deep understanding of the tenets of the Faith. By virtue of his ability to read Persian and Arabic and his numerous publications, translations, and public talks, Hippolyte was recognized by prominent orientalists as the first Bahá ' í scholar in the West. His Essai sur le Bé haisme, published in 1909, was, for a very long time, considered the most comprehensive and accurate presentation of the Faith. During his life, he became one of the first diplomats of the Bahá ' í community and ' Abdu' l-Bahá 's most trusted Western envoy, and he interacted with government officials, princes, diplomats, and leaders of thought from many parts of the world. In 1906, he was chosen by ' Abdu' l-Bahá to be the first Western Bahá ' í to go to Persia. In 1911 and 1913, he acted as ' Abdu' l-Bahá translator in Europe and arranged His meetings. He was posthumously named a Disciple of ' Abdu' l-Bahá for the " distinctive and inestimable" services he rendered to the Faith.

Yann Ballanger was introduced to the Faith in 2002 when he visited the National Bahá ' í Center in Paris after a long investigation into different religions and the purpose of life. A few years later, he left France for China and has been living in Shanghai since then. In 2013, he began researching the early Bahá ' í communities in Europe, mainly in France, from 1890 to 1930, and he began researching the life of Hippolyte Dreyfus-Barney in 2017, in collaboration with Parivash Ardei-Amini. Parivash Ardei-Amini was born and raised in Iran. In 1989, she moved with her husband to France, where she has been in charge of the Bahá ' í library and archives at the National Bahá ' í Center in Paris since 2001. She has published historical articles in the Bahá ' í France magazine and is the author of two biographies: Edith L. Sanderson: une figure historique de la communauté baha' ie de France, published in 2017; and á sí yih Khá num, l' illustre é pouse de Baha' u' llah ' La Feuille La Plus Exalté e', published in 2018.
