Book Description:
|
No Arab historical figure is more demonized than the Egyptian literati-turned-Islamist Sayyid Qutb. A poet and literary critic in his youth, Qutb abandoned literature in the 1950s in favour of Islamism. This book offers a fresh perspective on Qutb's life that examines his Islamist commitment as a continuation of his literary project.
