abstract noteIn the spirit of the epic poems of old, here is an effort to retell – in "Shakespearean style" poetry – the real history that underlies the core story at the genesis of the Bahá’í Faith and its community – a narrative to which the author feels a close personal connection, and which has informed and shaped his own life path. Penned by a confessed layman, the story is written in this ennobling style and is shared with others in the hope that it may invite appreciation of the history’s universal appeal – bringing to life ageless themes and creative strivings that transcend culture and circumstance, cross-over belief affiliations, embrace the sublime in humanity regardless of time and place, and may be applicable to anyone here and now. Volume One retells the story of the Báb; Volume Two, of Bahá’u’lláh.
