Genre
Memoir


TĀJ-al-SALṬANA (b. 5 or 6 Rabiʿ II 1301/ 3 or 4 February 1884 in Tehran; d. probably 1936 in Tehran), one of the daughters of Nāṣer-al-Din Shah (r. 1848-96) and the author of memoirs (ḵāterāt) which have raised much controversy since their first partial publication in 1969 (FIGURE 1).

The Memoirs. Tāj-al-Salṭana is one of the best known daughters of the Qajar king, largely because of what we have come to learn about her life through her Ḵāṭerāt. The controversy about their authenticity defines the ways in which we could (or could not) use the memoirs as a source about the princess' life.

“Preserving one's happiness is dependent on effort and action. Effort and action follow from unity. And what brings about unity? Love. What engenders love? Understanding. Whereby is understanding made whole? Knowledge.”

“The reigning silence produced an effect as of nature having gone to sleep and laying its head on the pillow of death's brother. Joining hands with this silence was the darkness of the night, which added to one's fears. The eardrum, straining in every direction, despaired of vibrating with any sound. Only the tree branches waving in the evening breeze punctured the silence with their echo.”
