Scientific, cultural, social and political biography of 10 indelible contemporary characters of Iran presented in the Series of books on indelible characters published by the Office of Islamic Revolution Literature and Soureh Mehr Publication.

According to Iran Oral History website, this series is collected by the group researching indelible figures; this research group was established in the spring of 2009 in Resistance Research & Study Center with the efforts of Office of Islamic Revolution Literature. The aim of such effort was to publish and disseminate the biography of prominent Iranian figures that are unknown in contemporary history of this country despite their efforts or no biography literature has been published presenting them.

The first package of this series introduces various political and scientific figures; the books, according to their order of publication and author are:

 

1- Seyyed Mohammad Khomeini, Javad Kamvar Bakhshayesh

2- Tahereh Saffarzadeh, Zabihollah Habibi Nejad

3- Seyyed Mohammad Ali Daie Ol-Islam, Jamshid Norouzi

4- Seyyed Gholamreza Saidie, Akbar Khosh Zad

5- Seyyed Jafar Shahidi, Akbar Khosh Zad

6- Majid Sharif Vaghefi, Jalil Amjadi

7- Seyyed Mohammad Farzan, Farhad Taheri

8- Haj Agha Hossein Qomi, Reza Mokhtari Isfahani

9- Baha Elddin Mahallati, Mohammad Javad Moradi Nia

10- Salman Harati, Ali Taghavi.

 

It is worth mentioning that so far, in addition to the series mentioned above, six other biographies of indelible characters are complete and will be soon published by Soureh Mehr and will be made available in the market. Also, over 25 additional topics are being written and we hope that by the end of the current decade (Iranian calendar) they will reach to one hundred titles.
