Un Maître Persan à Thonon-les-Bains d'apres le journal de Juliet Thompson

By Juliet Thompson.
Paris Editions Baha'ie France 2021 .
125 p. illus. , Le 24 août 1911, au matin, deux étranges voyageurs se présentaient dans le hall du Grand Hôtel du Pare, à Thonon-les-Bains : un jeune Persan poussant une brouette remplie de bagages, accompagnant une jeune femme peintre, de nationalité américaine. Ils arrivent, à pied, de la gare, les oreilles encore bourdonnantes des crachotements et sifflements de la locomotive à vapeur. Ils sont épuisés. La jeune femme, sur deux mots télégraphiés « Viens ici », avait quitte Londres quelques heures après la réception de ce message pour entreprendre avec son compagnon le voyage en train jusqu'à Genève et de là, directement jusqu'à la capitale du Chablais, sans prendre le temps, ni de se rafraîchir après ce long périple, ni de prévenir qu'on vienne les accueillir à la gare, tant ils sont pressés de parvenir au but de leur voyage. Le bizarre équipage dut faire sensation à son arrivée sur le boulevard de la Corniche, dans le splendide parc de la Société des Eaux Minérales de Thonon qui abritait, sous ses grands arbres ornés de massifs de lys blancs et d'hostas, le Casino, les Thermes, et le Grand Hôtel du Parc ainsi que de luxueuses villégiatures. La jeune femme se nomme Juliet Thompson; le jeune homme, qui va lui servir d'interprète, Tamaddunu'l- Mulk Ils viennent de si loin pour répondre à l'appel de 'Abdu'l-Bahá... On August 24, 1911, in the morning, two strange travelers appeared in the lobby of the Grand Hôtel du Pare, in Thonon-les-Bains: a young Persian pushing a wheelbarrow filled with luggage, accompanying a young woman painter, of American nationality. They arrive on foot from the station, their ears still ringing with the sputtering and hissing of the steam locomotive. They are exhausted. The young woman, on two telegraphed words "Come here", had left London a few hours after receiving this message to undertake with her companion the journey by train to Geneva and from there, directly to the capital of Chablais, without taking the time, either to freshen up after this long journey, or to let them know that someone is coming to meet them at the station, they are in such a hurry to reach the goal of their trip. The strange crew must have caused a sensation when it arrived on the Boulevard de la Corniche, in the splendid park of the Société des Eaux Minérales de Thonon which housed, under its tall trees adorned with clumps of white lilies and hostas, the Casino, the Thermal baths, and the Grand Hôtel du Parc as well as luxury resorts. The young woman is called Juliet Thompson; the young man, who will act as his interpreter, Tamaddunu'l-Mulk They come from so far away to respond to the call of 'Abdu'l-Bahá... | - 9782914263511
