According to Iranian Oral History Website report; the book of Sharhe Esm: The Biography of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei (1939-1978) will be unveiled with the presence of The Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance and a number of the leading experts and interested people in contemporary history and literature of our country at Sooreh Hall in Arts Center on Saturday 4th July from 11 to 13.
It is programmed that the invited experts examine this work from various aspects of historical, methodological and literary and discuss their points of view. 
The book of Sharhe Esm: The Biography of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei (1939-1979) by Hedayatollah Behboodi first released at this years Tehran Int. book fair by “Political Studies and Research Institute” and following great welcome of readers became extinct fast.
The publisher has called this book at its introduction as the second edition of this work but as its implied the structure and text of the book has remained unchanged except for some specific names and details of some events that has been changed with the comments of supreme leader as the only aware person regarding those issues.
This work that encompassed the biography of Islamic Republic Supreme Leader from 1939 till 1979, includes 80 historical photographs, dozens of documents from SAVAK, Shahrbani (the police), and the Shahs army on the campaign and exile period of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
Political Studies and Research Institute that has presented its most famous work in the recent years says about Sharhee Esm:  This study is a description on the life of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei from his origin and birth to his childhood and early adolescence and is a brief log from his first political and social movements till the victory of Islamic Revolution.
Regardless of his unique and exceptional role and position after the victory of Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei undoubtedly is one of the influential scholars in explaining and promoting political ideas of Islam and the rise of Islamic Revolution in Iran.
Thus, such research means rereading and retelling of some part of history of Iranian nations campaign.
This research could not be without difficulties. Difficulties such as the shortage of resources and scrimp of some involved centers and distributed documents caused that every page of it be collected from somewhere with hardship. Although the used documents could not shed light on and reveal all the visible and hidden angles of his personal life and campaign but it can be an example of expressing a “secret” about “the stories of others”.
Research on the people and events that its involved people are alive has the privilege that could be criticized, completed, and edited fast. Undoubtedly, “Political Studies and Research Institute” welcomes any kind of criticism and comments and scrutiny on this book.
Although detailed biography writing reckons as one of the subclasses of historiography but it also has the capacity of taking advantage of literary tastes. As Hedayatollah Behboodi has been able to use his subtle and attractive style in doing a scholarly and predicate research that is hoped to be accepted by scholars.
Its necessary to mention that this book has been presented at Quran Fair since Monday 30th July of 2012.
