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. '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 Times 'His level of
perception is of the highest, and his prose has become the perfect
instrument for realizing those perceptions on the page. 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.
