Darvish is a tale of love, faith, betrayal, and revenge. 1925 was a year of endings and beginnings. The Qajar Dynasty ended in a bloodless coup, giving rise to the rule of Reza Shah and the birth of the Pahlavi Dynasty. And in the northern province of Gilan, a young mother lay dying. With her last breath, she named the child cut from her womb. Thus began the tragic life of Morteza Ali. Tormented by a past he can not escape and a future that eludes him at every step, Morteza Ali finds solace and guidance in the voices that speak to him in his darkest hours. As Darvish, a self-proclaimed holy man, he walks a slippery path between light and darkness. Was he a messiah or a madman; a martyr or a murderer? The reader will be captivated by the power of ancient legends, the timeless wisdom of parables and the beauty of Persian poetry that infuse and enrich this tragic tale. Walk the path of Darvish. Discover for yourself the fine line between majesty and tragedy - the forces that shape the destinies of all men.
