Death and the Dervish – a profound existential tale by Mesa Selimovic
Death and the Dervish is more than a historical novel. It's a deeply introspective journey into the heart of doubt, conscience, and the human struggle for meaning in a world ruled by fear and power. Through the tormented mind of Sheikh Ahmed Nuruddin, Selimović crafts a haunting narrative that explores the collision between faith and reason, silence and resistance, in the face of oppressive authority. One of the best books to come from former Yugoslavia.
