Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree, The Book of Saladin, The Stone Woman, A Sultan in Palermo, and Night of the Golden Butterfly. This acclaimed literary cycle commands attention as a sweeping work of historical fiction, presenting five novels that chart the encounters between Islamic civilization and the West across centuries of conflict and exchange. Tariq Ali constructs narratives that uncover the cultural, political, and religious struggles shaping societies from medieval Spain to modern-day Pakistan, illustrating the enduring tensions and shared inheritances that define these histories. The quintet argues with clarity against simplistic divisions, instead detailing the complexities of empire, faith, and resistance through richly drawn characters and settings. Each volume chronicles pivotal moments where power, belief, and identity collide, offering readers a panoramic view of the forces that have shaped global history.
