About the Book: - Alamut 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 of 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. Believing in the supreme Ismaili motto "Nothing is true, everything is permitted," Sabbah wanted to "experiment" with how far he could manipulate religious devotion for his own political gain through appealing to what he called the stupidity and gullibility of people and their passion for pleasure and selfish desires. 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. Alamut was originally written in 1938 as an allegory to Mussolini's fascist state. In the 1960's it became a cult favorite throughout Tito's Yugoslavia, and in the 1990s, during the Balkan's War, it was read as an allegory of the region's strife and became a bestseller in Germany, France and Spain. Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, the book once again took on a new life, selling more than 20,000 copies in a new Slovenian edition, and being translated around the world in more than 19 languages. This edition, translated by Michael Biggins, in the first-ever English translation.

Rated 5 out of 5

This is a beautiful, high-quality bound book. It is a trade paperback in terms of the paper stock, but the work they have done on it makes the final product truly special. It arrived very well packaged and in excellent condition. The seller was particularly attentive and supportive, ensuring the book could be delivered even after some difficulty due to my own work scheduling. They truly went above and beyond in getting the book to me, with excellent customer service alongside the beautiful book.

I've ordered from this seller before, and would definitely consider doing so again. If you're looking for a hard to find or out-of-print title in hardback, then they are a very good option. The books look nice, exactly as in the illustrative photos, and you can choose from a range of options for the binding. They look very nice on the shelf. Considering the distance they travel, they arrive quickly, and are well packaged. No complaints whatsoever!

Once the books are made they arrive very quickly and are well protected for the journey. They always arrive in top condition. Any requests are dealt with quickly and communication is always courteous. I am choosing my next books to be made as we speak. Many thanks as always
