Passage of Life: Political Memoirs of Baqir Pirniya, Governor of Fars and Khorasan, and Deputy Custodian of the Razavi Shrine (1963–1971) is a firsthand account of provincial governance and religious administration during the Pahlavi era.
Written by Baqir Pirniya, a senior bureaucrat and reformist administrator, the memoir offers detailed reflections on:
Provincial politics in Fars and Khorasan
Relations with the royal court and SAVAK
Internal dynamics of the Āstān Quds Rażavī
Socioeconomic reforms and resistance
Cultural and religious tensions in the late 1340s SH
The book includes a critical preface by historian Abdullah Shahbazi, situating Pirniya’s career within the broader context of Pahlavi modernization, clerical politics, and regional governance. It is a valuable source for scholars of Iranian administrative history, religious institutions, and pre-revolutionary memoir literature.
