I was confused. ...A Short Review of the Book “Literature of I”
A Way to Comprehend Autobiographies and Personal Narratives
Seemingly simple lines between the two main and sub-titles of the book turn into an eloquent design on the cover in which the three excerpts on the back of the cover express the same content in a clear and explicit way.

Basij in the 17th Ali ibn Abi Taleb Division
“Today, we keep saying to make the work public and leave it to them; people who believe in the principle of doing their duty, not for their own interest. Of course, there was greed in the holy defense too, but it was greed for the hereafter! In that period, things were done heartily and based on faith, and everyone was looking for anonymity.

“Mother of Iran”
Esmat Ahmadian Oral Memories, Mother of Martyrs Esmail and Ibrahim Farjavani

Such an interpretation with the shocking text on the back of the book leads to notice deeper roots:Book Review:
