... It was also unbelievable for me that Dr. Mahdavi Ten gave such a conversation and created such a readable and attractive work. I consider Dr. Mahdavi as an example of a scientist and an ideal Iranian. In my opinion, Dr. Mahdavi is the epitome of faith in its pure and clear sense. All this knowledge and worldview and sitting and standing with all kinds of people, in Iran, France and America, nothing has been able to create the slightest damage in his spiritual and faith experience. Dr. Mahdavi, without any exaggeration, can make a technical comment about a film as a world-class film critic. With all his amazing mastery of Arabic literature and Islamic culture, he is one of the most prominent French scholars in Iran, a Francophone in the strict sense of the word par excellence. He has read all the great novels of the world and can make a critical and comparative comment about them in a professional manner. Due to these two characteristics of cinematography and novelism, Dr. Mahdavi has a special mastery in narrating events; What has been obtained and I read it with pleasure, and sometimes with tears of joy, is a unique work of its kind.
