It is likely his final work. The book has reached us in an incomplete form-only twenty pages are extant. The date of composition is Dhi'l-Qaʿda 1313 AH, corresponding to 1896 CE / 1275 SH. In this book, Agha Khan Kermani not only critiques classical and contemporary literature of his time but even takes issue with his own earlier works, calling for a fundamental re-evaluation of literature-literature to which he assigns a social function. M. Rezaei Tazik was born in July 1983 in Mashhad. He graduated with degrees in Political Science and Middle Eastern Studies from the Universities of Lucerne and Berne in Switzerland. His master's and doctoral studies focused on the history of intellectual thought in Iran, particularly the criticism of religion by Iranians. His doctoral dissertation examined religion and the criticism of religion in the works of Ahmad Kasravi. Additionally, Tazik has co-translated some of the works of FathAli Akhundzadeh and Mirza Agha Khan Kermani into German.
