The extraordinary life of the man who founded Islam, and the world he inhabited - and remade.
Lesley Hazleton reported on the Middle East from Jerusalem for more than a dozen years, and has written for Time, The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, and Harper's, among other publications. Her last book, After the Prophet, was a finalist for the PEN-USA book Award. Hazleton lives in Seattle.
Hazleton approaches her subject with scrupulous respect... Vivid
and immediate
*New York Times*
Hazleton sets her keen eye and her sculpted prose on one of the
most fascinating and misunderstood figures in history... This is a
wonderful book
*Reza Aslan, author of No God but God and How to Win a Cosmic
War*
The most readable, engaging study of Muhammad I have ever come
across
*G. Willow Wilson, author of Alif the Unseen and The Butterfly
Mosque*
A rich biography... Those who read it will come away well prepared
to understand the prophet whose message, 14 centuries later, is the
creed of more than a billion and a half people.
*The San Francisco Chronicle*
Richly detailed and beautifully written... [Hazleton] is able to do
with words what is almost never attempted in pictures...
indispensable.
*The Seattle Times*
