The Reluctant Fundamentalist è il bestseller internazionale emozionante e provocatorio di Mohsin Hamid, disponibile per la prima volta come Penguin Essential. Selezionato per il premio Man Booker nel 2007 Ora un film importante diretto da Mira Nair e interpretato da Kate Hudson e Kiefer Sutherland "Mi scusi, signore, ma posso aiutarla? Ah, vedo che l'ho allarmata. Non si spaventi per la mia barba. Sono un amante dell'America. " Così parla il misterioso straniero in un bar di Lahore mentre cala il tramonto. Invitato a unirsi a lui per un tè, impari il suo nome e cosa ha spinto questo parlante di un inglese immacolato a cercarti. Perché è più mondano di quanto potresti aspettarti; ha viaggiato di più ed è più istruito. Conosce l'Occidente meglio di te. E mentre ti racconta la sua storia, di come ha abbracciato il sogno occidentale (e una donna occidentale) e di come entrambi lo hanno tradito, così la notte si oscura. Allora il vero motivo del vostro incontro diventa abbondantemente chiaro. Stimolante, misterioso e avvincentemente teso, il magistrale The Reluctant Fundamentalist di Mohsin Hamid è una lettura fondamentale, piena di domande e idee su alcuni dei problemi più urgenti del mondo globalizzato e frammentato di oggi. "Magistrale. Un libro stratificato e profondamente avvincente, che funziona come una toccante storia d'amore, una potente dissezione di come le macchinazioni imperialiste degli Stati Uniti abbiano spinto così tante persone contro la superpotenza mondiale, e come un thriller che aumenta sottilmente la tensione snervante verso un finale esplosivo" Metro "Splendidamente scritto. Più emozionante di qualsiasi thriller che abbia letto da molto tempo' Philip Pullman'Un libro brillante' Kiran Desai'Ammirabilmente scarno e sorprendentemente emozionante' Rachel Cooke, New Statesman Mohsin Hamid è l'autore di The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Moth Smoke e How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia.
