	Biggins, Against ideologies
		Alamut belongs to the genre of the historical novel of which the basic demand is a nationally relevant message.
		The interpretation of Alamut as a terrorist novel was born as polemic rejection of the stereotype school reading, which explained it as criticism of terrorism and as criticism of the manipulation exercised by the authorities.
		Alamut is a narrative about the rescuing of a vitally endangered community that had no other choice left to preserve its existence but fanatical, extreme forms of aggression.

	Amazon.com: Alamut: Books: Vladimir Bartol (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		ALAMUT is both an old-fashioned page-turner that follows the lives of these two innocents as they learn the arts of love and war for the mysterious Sabbah, as well as an allegory and meditation on the nature of power and authority.
		Alamut's leader -- a mix of madness and genius -- offers a couple of longwinded, but fascinating, monologues on the meaning of life, but the real meaning in the book is found in the fates of the girl and boy.
		Alamut castle, the characters ibn-al-sabbah, Chajjam, Nizam-al-Molk, and the process of power degradation in Persia during 1092, all of these are elements that happened in history but in this novel they are merely narrative tools in a script that grabs its integrity from being read by us.

	Review: The Secrets of Alamut
		Alamut is the concluding chapter in the saga of former Knight Templar As-Sayf's search for a prophet, Simon de Lancrois, whom As-Sayf believes has deluded thousands of his followers.
		Alamut is an old-fashioned, point-and-click adventure that is mouse-controlled and relies heavily on an inventory system and 360-degree freedom of movement.
		By returning the genre to its roots, Alamut also marches it forward by virtue of top-notch writing, voice-acting, soundtrack, and puzzles, proving that is not the genre that is the problem, but often a lack of talent in a genre that demands the best.

		Alamut is essentially a study of the works of Hakim Bey and Deleuze & Guattari's
		Hakim Bey's ideas are foreshadowed by Deleuze & Guattari's; by plundering the notions of the rhizome, the nomad, the map and applying them to TAZ theory (or vice versa), the reader of these admittedly dense & inscrutable texts can hopefully better pry the lid off and see what complex clockwork hearts are beating within.
		Alamut is designed to allow exploration to begin from any corner, even such loosely related lexias as those about me or the English class that spurred this web.

	Index to the History of Alamut
		Alamut posed a threat and many attempts were made to destroy it.
		The special thing about Alamut, or so I tell people, was that it was able to maintain its culture and autonomy and hold off its powerful enemies by its clever use of 'information'.
		Alamut collapsed in 1256, exactly 700 years before I was born.

	The fortress of Alamut
		The bulk of Alamut's garrison and a large number of the inhabitants had embraced Ismailism, making Hussain Mahdi powerless to defend himself or make their expulsion, but himself eventually left the fortress.
		Thus, Alamut was occupied without any massacre and was taken to be known as Daru'l Hijra (place of refuge) for the Ismailis in a congenial atmosphere.
		The fortress of Alamut is 600 feet high, 450 feet long and 30 to 125 feet wide and is partly encompassed by the towering Elburz range.

	The Hundredth Anniversary of Vladimir Bartol, the Author of Alamut
		In brief, Alamut is a quite faithful account of the beginning of Ismailis' history in 1092, who established a sect of Assassins led by Hassan Ibn Saba, and at the same time a vivid allusion to the period of terrible dictators between the two wars.
		In 1990 a symposium about Bartol's work was organised in Ljubljana; in 2002 a fourth Slovenian edition of Alamut was published and widely praised by media and critics; Alamut became an obligatory reading for pupils in the final forms of secondary schools.
		The second reason for its popularity is the fact that Alamut is a highly readable novel with dramatic plot which deals with eternal themes and can be read from different viewpoints: as an adventure novel, historical account, love story, psychological study of a man in power, antique tragedy, or as a philosophical representation of nihilism.

	Scala House Press - Alamut (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Circa 1092 A.D. The fortress of Alamut, northern Iran.
		Alamut is the first-ever English translation of Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol’s near-forgotten masterpiece—a bestseller across Europe and translated into 19 languages nearly 60 years after its initial publication—based on the life and legend of the original “assassin” and world’s first political terrorist, 11th century Ismaili leader Hasan ibn Sabbah.
		Much more than a prophetic treatise or political allegory on terrorism, Alamut is a gripping story of one man’s unmanacled drive to play God and the human price paid by the innocent to fuel that drive.

		The inscriptions are shattered into many pieces, making them unreadable, but the fragments show that the inscriptions had been created with great skill and art.

	Scala House Press - Reviews of Alamut
		An afterword by Michael Biggins offering context on the author's life, the juxtaposition of his writing to the rise of dictatorial conquest that would erupt into World War II, and the medly of reactions to its publication, both in the author's native Slovenia and worldwide, round out this superb masterpiece.
		“Alamut is an epic novel of conspiracies, love stories, and subtle religious and philosophical subtexts that bravely confronts the issue of political extremismLike Borges, it raises questions but offers few answersand will leave you with an inexhaustible restlessness and uncertainty.”
		It is an adventure story from 1938 which transforms itself, in the course of a few hundred pages, into a nightmare novel of the new century.”

	The Secret of Alamut - The Legend of the Prophet and the Assassin Part 2 - Review english
		As Sayf or Tancred assumed, that Simon was hiding in the citadel of the assassins in Alamut.
		The secret of Alamut hardly has direct action parts, where you have to show your reaction skills with the exception of a few timed sequences, where you simply have to do the right things fast.
		By the example of one man the destiny of many people is reflected, who are seeking for the meaning of life or perhaps at last for their personal luck in religion, fight and crime.

		Now, thanks to the work of a UW librarian, the novel, titled Alamut, is available in English for the first time.
		He offers interesting insights into the origins of the Sunni-Shiite split in Islam, and — writing as he was during the ascension of totalitarianism in Europe — he also conveys broader meditations on the nature of fanaticism.
		For all of its provocative ideas and sometimes eerily prescient incidents, “Alamut” is also successful simply as an entertaining yarn.

		An Ishmaelite (or Ismali; this still-extant branch of Shiite Islam is headed by the Aga Khan) politcal intriguer of the late 11th century, Hassan i Sabbah became a major political force in Persia and the entire Islamic world by use of some surprisingly modern political techniques.
		Hassan i Sabbah's followers, based out of his mountain fortress of Alamut were possibly amongst the best spies in the region, working with Christian Crusaders and any of the varied sects & nations of Islam at the time.
		Hassan i Sabbah showed his followers Heaven at Alamut; when initiates were brought to him, they were drugged and taken to a part of the mountain sculpted to resemble the Muslim ideas about Heaven.

		But what has brought me to Alamut is the legend, chronicled by Muslim and Crusader historians, that Hasan-i Sabbah, leader of the 12th century Middle Eastern terror cult known as the Assassins, had built a simulacrum here of the sensual delights of Paradise to quicken his men's taste for martyrdom.
		After cavorting briefly, he would be drugged back to sleep, and upon waking again would be told that he had tasted the paradise that awaited on the successful completion of his suicide mission.
		Iranian officials are a bit ashamed of this fanatic lurking in their history, and tried to discourage me from going to Alamut, near Qazvin in northwestern Iran, about 80 miles northeast of Tehran.

		Amid the sound of trumpets, drums, and cymbals, the troops of Hulagu Khan-the grandson of Genghis Khan-advance to the Persian fort of Alamut after its surrender on December 15, 1256.
		(“Hulagu Khan went up to look at Alamut and from the greatness of the mountain, astonished, he took the finger of surprise in his teeth,” says the text.) The picture, organized into three planes linked by the diagonal movement of the troops, reveals the Mughal interest in naturalism and precise visual observation.
