Synopsis
Karmath, By The Author Of 'Rameses' by Edward Upham. This English historical tale traces the rise of Ismaelians and the Karmath sect in the early Abbasid era, weaving political intrigue with occult rites. Spanning Baghdad’s caliphate under Harun al-Rashid, the narrative follows the enigmatic Karmath, a powerful mystic in Hillah near Babylon, and his circle—Jami, Adalia, and Heman—as they navigate revolts, dynastic ambitions, and esoteric lore. The plot intertwines Ismaelians, Fatimites, and the Assassin order, presenting a tapestry of palace intrigues, desert journeys, and perilous tugs between power and mercy. Upham blends romance, loyalty, and betrayal with Oriental legends, while scrutinizing religious and political forces that shaped the East. The work reflects 19th-century European fascination with the Orient through a melodramatic drama of conspiracy, divine signs, and mortal courage.
