"Sharh-e Esm" is about biography-related issues of Seyyed Ali Khamenei—since 1939 to 1979—consisting of matters such as his paternal and maternal ancestors, and so forth. At the first time, this book was simultaneously unveiled with the holding of “International fair of Tehran book”, but its distribution was stopped due to being some historical mistakes; later on, it was distributed after fixing its difficulties.
In regards to choosing the name of the book Sharh-e Esm, its writer mentions that: According to an expression in the science of logic: if we cannot understand the essence of a truth, we will "Sharh" it; and that's the reason for choosing such name for the book.
