Acerca deste livro eletrónico
Part travelogue, part autobiography, "The Road to
Mecca" is the compelling story of a Western journalist and adventurer who
converted to Islam in the early twentieth century. A spiritual and literary
counterpart of Wilfred Thesiger and a contemporary of T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence
of Arabia), Muhammad Asad journeyed around the Middle East, Afghanistan and
India. This is an account of Asad's adventures in Arabia, his inner awakening,
and his relationships with nomads and royalty alike, set in the wake of the First
World War. It can be read on many levels: as a eulogy to a lost world, and as
the poignant account of a man's search for meaning. It is also a love story,
defying convention and steeped in loss. With its evocative descriptions and
profound insights on the Islamic world, "The Road to Mecca" is a work
of immense value today.
