V.S. Naipaul embarks on a revelatory journey through four Islamic nations—Iran, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Indonesia—in the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution. Through intimate conversations and acute observation, he explores how faith, politics, and modernisation collide in societies grappling with profound transformation.
This compelling travelogue captures a crucial moment in contemporary history, as Naipaul witnesses the tension between traditional belief systems and the pressures of the modern world. His unflinching prose reveals the complex realities behind headlines, offering insights into the lives of ordinary people caught between competing visions of their future. A masterful work of reportage that remains startlingly relevant today.
