Pol Amir (Zebihullah Mansuri) – The Lord of Alamut: Hasan Sabbah Turkish Book Turkey

Description:

This is the 2011 Turkish edition of The Lord of Alamut: Hasan Sabbah (Hasan Sabbah) by Pol Amir, published by Truva Yayınları. Bibliographic records confirm the 2011 Truva Yayınları edition and identify Fahri Parin as the translator.

The novel focuses on Hasan Sabbah and the world of Alamut, set against the political and religious conflicts of the Seljuk period. The story explores the rise of Hasan Sabbah, the Ismaili/Batini movement associated with him, and the struggles for power, influence, faith, and survival surrounding Alamut.

The narrative brings together historical figures, political intrigue, religious conflicts, warfare, and personal ambition, offering a dramatic literary interpretation of one of the most intriguing figures of medieval Persian history. The book's historical accuracy has been questioned, so it is best regarded as historical fiction rather than a strictly scholarly biography.
