Opis

ALAMUT was originally written in 1938 as an allegory to Mussolini’s fascist state. In the 1960s, it became a cult favorite throughout Tito’s Yugoslavia, and in the 1990s, during the Balkan Wars, it was read as an allegory of the region’s strife and became a bestseller in Germany, France and Spain. This edition, translated by Michael Biggins, is the first-ever English translation.

The story takes place in 11th-century Persia, in the fortress of Alamut, where self-proclaimed prophet Hasan ibn Sabbah is setting up his mad but brilliant plan to rule the region with a handful elite fighters who are to become his "living daggers." By creating a virtual paradise at Alamut, filled with beautiful women, lush gardens, wine and hashish, Sabbah is able to convince his young fighters that they can reach paradise if they follow his commands. With parallels to Osama bin Laden, ALAMUT tells the story of how Sabbah was able to instill fear into the ruling class by creating a small army of devotees who were willing to kill, and be killed, in order to achieve paradise.

The novel focuses on Sabbah as he unveils his plan to his inner circle, and on two of his young followers--the beautiful slave girl Halima, who has come to Alamut to join Sabbah's paradise on earth, and young ibn Tahir, Sabbah's most gifted fighter. As both Halima and ibn Tahir become disillusioned with Sabbah's vision, their lives take unexpected turns.
