	The Hundredth Anniversary of Vladimir Bartol, the Author of Alamut
		Vladimir Bartol is one of the most enigmatic authors of Slovenian literature, who has a specific position among men of letters of 1930's.
		Bartol was an obsessively meticulous person, so it is no wonder that he thoroughly researched numerous historical sources, philosophical works, especially Niccolo Machiavelli's Il Principe (The Prince, 1532), and, of course, the Koran in order to write his novel.
		Vladimir Bartol admitted that while writing the novel he had a feeling that he was creating it not only for his contemporaries but also for the readers that had lived fifty years ago, as well as for the readers that would live fifty years after.

	Biggins, Against ideologies
		Bartol was a Slovene from Trieste, born in an existentially exposed and endangered western ethnic region (in 1920 the fascists burned down the Slovene cultural center in Trieste, and they abused and violently assimilated Slovenes; as a result many Slovenes emigrated to Yugoslavia).
		Bartol dedicated much of his writing to persuading readers how these two extremes are incompatible and that deciding on one of the two possibilities is inevitable: namely, the Slovenes should finally take responsibility for their own fate.
		Bartol's plan was to establish an equal historical status for Slovenia, a country without a heroic past but with ample defeats and losses.

		On 24 February, Slovenia marked the centennial of the birth of one of its least appreciated literary figures, Vladimir Bartol.

		Bartol’s work was written as Slovenia saw the rise of totalitarianism in three of its neighbors, Italy, Germany and Russia.
		Bartol devises a shifting collage of passions, adventure and sacrifice.

		He and his followers were responsible for political assassinations throughout the region, and the legends that grew as a result of his work extended as far north as Austria, and as far east as Mongolia.
		This means by no chance that Bartol is re-reading history as a (fact), rather, he is creating a new narration which is this very novel that is read.
		Vladimir Bartol (1906-1967) finished writing this novel in 1938, in an era that was typified by the emergence of totalitarian theories and the existence of important political individuals who were aiming for a new world order set by their concepts.

	The Seattle Times: Books: "Alamut": Faith, rage and fanaticism — in the 11th century
		It should be noted that Slovenian author Vladimir Bartol is hardly under-recognized elsewhere.
		Since its initial publication in 1938, "Alamut" has been translated into more than a dozen other languages and currently is a best seller in Europe.
		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.

		Alamut, which has been translated into 19 languages around the world, was originally intended by Bartol as a criticism of Italian fascist leader Benito Mussolini.
		Bartol had hoped to achieve instant recognition for Alamut, but World War II quickly sent the book into obscurity, where it remained for nearly six decades, until another war fifty years later brought it back to life.

		Set in Persia in the 11th century, Alamut is the story of Hassan Ibn Sabah, an old man who becomes the head of the Ashashini sect.
		All of Bartol's theses, as laid out in Alamut, seemed far out of the temporal and mental context of the time, at least for the critics.
		Bartol regularly wrote for the Trieste-based Slovenian language daily Primorski dnevnik.

	The Assassin Legends (1850439508) DAFTARY - I. B. Tauris
		I came across Daftary's work and his Institutue of Ismaili Studies in London as I was preparing the first English translation of ALAMUT, Vladimir Bartol's novel of Hasan ibn Sabbah, the original so-called "assassin."
		(Bartol's work certainly doesn't help, largely relying as it does on those myths and fabrications.) Taken together with Lewis' work on the subject, Daftary's study offers a compelling argument against Marco Polo and the bread crumbs of myths that followed him back to Italy.
		As the Head of the Department of Academic Research and Publications at the Institute of Islamic studies it is safe to say that Daftary is the foremost expert and scholar in Ismailism today.
