In Search of Hassan-i Sabbah

The story of the life of the Lord of Alamut, Hassan-i Sabbah, this time told in a different language, accompanied by diverse images and an engaging and readable narration, takes us back to the late 5th century AH, when Hassan-i Sabbah, along with his devoted followers, created various events in the impregnable fortress of Alamut. As a child, unlike other children, Hassan was encouraged by one of his father’s companions to leave Rey for Nishapur, where he was to be educated by a man named Imam Muwaffaq Nishapuri and learn the ways of life. There, he became acquainted with people who would later have a significant impact on his life. The book *Following Hassan-i Sabbah* is another captivating volume in the *Following…* series, written by Yousef Alikhani.
