Sinossi

The Fortress of SilenceA Historical Novel by Muhammad Adeel Malik
 
In the snowbound silence of Persia’s Elburz Mountains, a fortress rises — not only of stone, but of secrecy, resistance, and faith. The Fortress of Silence tells the powerful, historically grounded story of Hasan bin Sabbah: scholar, strategist, and the enigmatic founder of the Nizari Ismaili state.
 
From the legendary fortress of Alamut, perched above clouds and conquest, Hasan defied crusaders, caliphs, and kings. This is not a tale of fantasy assassins or exaggerated legend — but a richly human narrative rooted in truth, drawn from authentic Islamic and Persian history.
 
With poetic language and philosophical depth, this novel explores:
 
The rise of a spiritual-political movement in medieval Islam
 
The psychology of loyalty, rebellion, and sacrifice
 
The intellectual world of Hasan bin Sabbah beyond the myths
 
The meaning of resistance in the face of empires and betrayal
 
For readers of Amin Maalouf, Khalil Gibran, or historical fiction that bridges politics, religion, and memory, The Fortress of Silence offers a contemplative and unforgettable journey.
Disponibile da: 05/07/2025.

    The Flying Stars” is one of Chesterton’s mysteries featuring Father Brown. It’s actually the first of these short stories I’ve read and I picked it up more because it’s a Christmas mystery than to meet Father Brown, even though he is a character I’d like to read more of.
    The story takes place at an English manor home on Boxing Day. A young lady and the young man who lives next door are present, as is the girl’s father, Colonel Adams, a newly arrived uncle and a quite rich godfather. Also present, in addition to the servants, simply because the Colonel likes his company is the local priest, Father Brown. The godfather has brought a gift for the young lady, a set of three gorgeous, large diamonds, which he has tucked away in his coat pocket.
