Summary

Amin Maalouf: Samarkand

Samarkand is the Persia of Omar Hajjam, the great poet of wine and love, philosopher and astronomer, but also of Hasan Sabah, the founder of the Assassination Order, the most terrible sect in history. Samarkand is the Orient of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, a journey to a world where dreams of freedom have always defied fanaticism.

Samarkand is the adventure of a manuscript created in the eleventh century, lost during the Mongol conquests, and then resurfaced centuries later, only to disappear in the depths of the Atlantic with the sinking of the Titanic.

On the Silk Road, through the enchanting cities of Asia, intertwining continents and centuries, bloody battles and of passionate love, Amin Maalouf, with an extraordinary story-telling gift, revives the history of the manuscripts of Hajjam's Rubai and brings an incredible story about one of the most significant collections of poetry of all time.

"Maalouf wrote an extraordinary book...like the complex weave of an oriental carpet, it weaves back and forth through the centuries, connecting the poetry, philosophy and passion of the Sufi past with modernism." Independent
