Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Nobel Prize-winning author offers an insightful follow-up to his landmark travelogue Among the Believers: a "brilliant powerfully observed, stylistically elegant exploration" (The New York Times) thats the result of a five-month journey through Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, and Malaysia, countries where dreams of Islamic purity clash with economic and political realities. Fourteen years after the publication of his landmark travel narrative Among the Believers, V. S. Naipaul returned to the four non-Arab Islamic countries he reported on so vividly at the time of Ayatollah Khomeini's triumph in Iran. Beyond Belief is the result of his five-month journey in 1995 through lands where descendants of Muslim converts live at odds with indigenous traditions.In extended conversations with a vast number of peoplea rare survivor of the martyr brigades of the Iran-Iraq war, a young intellectual training as a Marxist guerilla in Baluchistan, an impoverished elderly couple in Teheran whose dusty Baccarat chandeliers preserve the memory of vanished wealth, and countless othersV. S. Naipaul deliberately effaces himself to let the voices of his subjects come through. Yet the result is a collection of stories that has the author's unmistakable stamp. With its incisive observation and brilliant cultural analysis, Beyond Belief is a startling and revelatory addition to the Naipaul canon. Explores the revolutionary character of the Islamic faith and discusses what really is happening in those countries in which Islamic fundamentalism is prevalent, as seen through the eyes of the people caught up in the turmoil.
