The author succeeded in weaving an unprecedented novel of real events and real characters and historical facts , and gave it a great philosophical dimension.He embodies the greatness of the human mind that God created in our bodies.
I highly recommend it.”
“Typical romance with a terrorist twist.”

“you should really, really read this book, because it's exciting and interesting and has many clever ideas about life, which hasan is telling at the end. almost every sentence could be a quote! and it treats some really serious history themes. it was written by Vladimir Bartol, one of the best Slovenian artist of all time! The movie was, i think, not shot over the book, but i should be someday!”

ألموت
رواية رائعة عن الفرقة الاسماعيلة و نشوء ما يعرف بالحشاشين. عالم خيالي حيث ابن الصباح الداهية يصنع ذلك العالم العجيب في قلعة ألموت.
تجوب بك الرواية في عالم بنات الفردوس الذي صنعه ابن الصباح و تتفاعل مع حكاياتهم و تدور مع الابطال في تلك القلعة التي تدور و تدور فيها الاحداث في ذلك السحر الغريب حتى تحتار في ابن الصباح هل تتعاطف معه ام تكرهه.

“A brilliant, evocative book. Bartol did his research for 10 years, then wrote his re-imagination of Hasan ibn Sabbah's life's work in a few feverish, perhaps hallucinogenic months. "Nothing is true, everything is permitted" is the secret motto of his Ismaili society, which uses fanatic followers fueled by hashshish and the convinction that they have experienced paradise to topple the Seljuk regime in Baghdad. Ambivalent, absorbing, haunting.”

“Although this is a novel, it sticks very closely to known historical facts about this sect. Religion with all its beauty can very often be translated into the "opium of the masses" and here is another example. Fascinating read”
