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.

New Adventures of Sherlock...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Nora Godwin

The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Volume 10:
Throughout many years, Dr. John H. Watson accompanied his friend and companion Sherlock Holmes in solving countless mysteries and crimes. Beginning in the 1880s and into the 20th century, Holmes consistently held his status as the world’s most brilliant and successful detective. His accomplishments were painstakingly chronicled by Watson in notes that relate the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Many of his accounts have been published and are well-known to a broad readership.
There were times, however, when Watson would refrain from publishing his writings during his lifetime. He would do so for various reasons: At times, he would find himself forced to keep actual events and background information secret for moral, criminal, or financial reasons. Other times, he would want to either avoid potential political, legal, or social scandals or even damage to his own—or Holmes’s—reputation. Some of Watson’s accounts, however, were simply not published at the time because he was occupied with more important or urgent matters.
The New Adventures brings to the public for the very first time some of Watson’s accounts of Sherlock Holmes cases previously kept under lock and key.
