It was originally published as “Talks by `Abdu'l-Bahá Given in Paris” in 1912. At length when Abdul Baha himself asked us to do so we, of course, consented-in spite of our feeling that our pen is “too weak for such high message.”” Paris Talks is a book transcribed from talks given by `Abdu'l-Bahá, the son and successor of Bahá’u’lláh, the Founder of the Bahá’í Faith, while in Paris. Many friends asked us to publish these notes in English, but we hesitated. Of these “Talks” my two daughters, my friend and I took notes.
Abdul Baha spoke in Persian, which was translated into French. These listeners were of many Nationalities and types of thought, learned and unlearned, members of various religious sects, Theosophists and Agnostics, Materialists and Spiritualists, etc., etc. “Much has already been written of the visit of Abdul Baha, Abbas Effendi, to Europe,” writes Lady Blomfield in her Preface to Paris Talks, “During his stay at Paris at 4, Avenue de Comoens, he gave short “Talks” each morning to those who crowded, eager to hear His Teaching.
