‘This book investigates the Islamic revolution and tries to understand the fundamentalist zeal that has gripped the young in Iran and other Muslim countries . . . He is a modern master. ’ – Sunday TimesReissued in the Picador Collection, Among the Believers is V. S. Naipaul’s classic account of his journeys through Iran, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Indonesia. ‘The believers’ are the Muslims he met on those journeys, young men and women battling to regain the original purity of their faith in the hope of restoring order to a chaotic world. It is a uniquely valuable insight into modern Islam and the comforting simplifications of religious fanaticism. Part of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the best of modern literature. ‘His travel writing is perhaps the most important body of work of its kind in the second half of the century. ’ - Martin Amis, author of Time's Arrow and The Zone of Interest
