A personal review on The Road to Mecca.
Where can I start explaining and detailing this magnificent book and this great man – Leopold Weiss (alias Muhammad Asad) – this great scholar and this noble writer? However I describe it I have not done justice to the beauty of his words, to the delicacy and emotions that is expressed in the book The Road To Mecca. Muhammad Asad explains an array of geographical, historical, cultural and sensitive religious issues according to his endeavours and adventures around Europe, Africa, and Asia; specifically in the Middle East.
There are writers, and there are writers. There are books written by individuals who are able to get their idea across, to describe an event or an concept accurately. But then there are those few writers who paint entire landscapes of multiple subjects, events and places in your mind; whose words memorize you, whose characters and emotions make you reflect and consider yourself from a completely different view-point.
