Samarkand - Amin Maalouf | Book Summary - Review and Analysis
Amin Maalouf's masterpiece, *Samarkand*, takes us from 11th-century Samarkand to the Titanic disaster of 1912, in pursuit of Omar Khayyam's lost "Rubaiyat" manuscript. In this video, we examine Hasan Sabbah's empire of terror in Alamut Castle, Nizam al-Mulk's statecraft, and Omar Khayyam's existentialist philosophy. In this work, where historical facts and fiction intertwine, you will witness the conflict between the wisdom of the East and the pains of Western modernization. The story of the famous trio (Khayyam, Sabbah, Nizam al-Mulk), who were supposedly schoolmates, and the secret of a treasure buried at the bottom of the ocean centuries later, are all in this video. Enjoy!
