Book Description
Dara, a young shepherd from a remote village in the Seljuq Empire, is about to marry his love, Golnar, when the unthinkable happens: Golnar is kidnapped on their wedding day. With his sworn brother Borzoo at his side, Dara embarks on a journey to avenge Golnar by joining the Alamut fortress, the stronghold of Hassan Sabbah and his lethal feda'i assassins. Dara soon makes a startling discovery that tests his devotion to Alamut and brings his greatest vice to the forefront. Overcoming his vice puts him at odds with Alamut, and Dara faces a daunting decision: fulfill his sworn destiny with the feda'is or desert Alamut-something no feda'i has dared do before. His decision ultimately leads to more astounding discoveries for Dara and his brother Borzoo, yet can Dara continue to conceal the shocking secret about his brother's true identity? The Deserter of Alamut takes readers on an epic adventure full of twists and turns that test the loyalty of two brothers as they seek to fulfill their destinies.

Book Description
There are sections of Islamic History which mention Hasan-i-Sabbah briefly but no writer treats the subject in details. Hodgson and Lewis published under a misleading title of ‘Assassins’and more recently F. Daftary wrote a general history of the Ismailis. Thus there is a need of a book covering the topic in greater depth and details. Hasan Sabbah; His life and thought, covers the history of the Middle East Crusade Period. It also deals with the founder of the Nizari Ismaili State in the North Iran and Syria and against the powerful Seljuks and the Sunni Caliphate of Islam.

Book Description
Jalal Toufic?s ?Postscripts? appears on the occasion of the exhibition ?Let?s be honest, the weather helped? by Walid Raad at Moderna Museet, Stockholm. The author has made known that some works are not just thought-provoking, they are also initiations into thinking. The aphorisms included in ?Postscripts? function as supplements to Toufic?s previous books, being at the same time both clarifications and disclosures of his earlier material. It is a series of thought experiments constructed from discontinuous scenes, reflections, and questions about the complex relationship between reality and fiction, simulation and phantasy, dreaming and wakefulness, and life and death.
