“Paris Talks” is a collection of talks given by Abdu’l-Bahá, the third and last of the central figures of the Bahá’í faith and the only one to visit the West. They were delivered informally to small audiences during his stay in Paris, from October to December 1911. This collection, originally published as a book, is now available in the form of an audio-book as well.

 

These talks cover a number of topics, most relevant to today’s global interests, such as aspects of human rights, universal education, equal opportunities for all,  religious prejudices  and  the  establishment of  universal  love  and peace,  in a  most  approachable style.

 

This audio-book is read by
