Alamut by Vladimir Bartol

5.0

Alamut offers half a dozen easily identifiable situations that it could be referring to, besides the one that the story is literally about, including several that hadn't even happened at the time he wrote the book. If you didn't know better you would assume this book was written in response to 9/11, it wasn't, it was written in 1938. If every person in the world read this book we would be so much better off. It does not offer solutions, it shows you things and is open to interpretation.
