The Orientalist
The Orientalist: Solving The Mystery of a Strange and Dangerous Life
by Tom Reiss
the orientalist (9/11/2008)
This biography is a must-read today. It tells the history of the regions in the world that are in the center of today's problems: Azerbaijan, Georgia, Crimea,Turkey, Russia and the great oil city of Baku, all through the history of a mysterious individual who lived many lives. A most important and fascinating book.
