خلاصة:
Stanisław Adam Jaśkowski is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Oriental Studies at the University of Warsaw, who received his Ph.D. His research topics focus on the modern history of Iran. Parcham Magazine has a unique place among Kasravi magazines and has a completely ideological approach that has been published in important periods of Iranian history; On the one hand, Reza Shah's government had just ended and hopes had been raised for the restoration of freedom of expression in the country, and on the other hand, restrictions on the publication of magazines had been tightened. All of these factors, along with Jaśkowski's familiarity with Iranian history and culture, prompted him to write a book about Kasravi's flag magazine. Ivan J. Siegel, , as a researcher, has written review articles to encourage readers to read the book. The translator's effort is to provide a correct and at the same time scientific translation for the readers of this writing.

City University of New York, author of a review article on the book by Stanisław Adam Jaśkowski: Parcham – Journal of Ahmad Kasravi and His Followers: A Snapshot from the History of Press in Iran, Stanisław Adam Jaśkowski, Warsaw: Wydawnictwo Akademickie Dialog, 2017, ISBN 978- 838-0027-36-7, 228 pp.
Keywords: Kasravi, Parcham Magazine, Iranian Press Article Text: As the author of the present work (Jaśkowski) explains, the bi-weekly “Parcham” published by the famous Iranian social historian and religious critic, Ahmad Kasravi (1269-1324) [Sayyid Ahmad Hekmatabadi Tabrizi], was important for several reasons: 1) It represented the peak of Kasravi’s specific religious thoughts; 2) As a result of the religious attacks by Ali Akbar Hakmizadeh against Shiism, which were published in this magazine, a young cleric [named] Ruhollah Khomeini issued a call for Kasravi’s execution,1 so that after a trial in which Kasravi was prosecuted for heresy, he was brutally murdered on the courthouse steps.
And probably 3) These very challenges that Kasravi launched against Shiism aroused many young Iranians to break away from their ancestors’ beliefs; as Yerovand Abrahamian states, many members of the Tudeh Party, one of the largest communist parties in the Middle East and which had a significant impact on the post-World War II generation, considered Kasravi’s fiery attacks on Shiism a turning point in their ideological growth.
