Description
In a 17th-century Ottoman Empire fractured by religious and cultural divides, Balthasar, a monk from a remote island, embarks on a quest to find the hundredth name of God. Convinced that this divine name holds the key to salvation, Balthasar's journey takes him through a world teetering on the brink of intolerance and misunderstanding. He encounters diverse peoples and beliefs, forcing him to confront the very nature of faith, identity, and the elusive truth that unites humanity. Amin Maalouf masterfully weaves a tale of spiritual seeking against a backdrop of historical upheaval, exploring the profound human desire for connection and the dangers of dogmatism.
