This is great news Khurram Sahib. I liked this book the very first time I came across it in a book fair. I am very fond of it and thus I had my copy signed by you for my son. I hope it makes him more curious about Iqbal and his message.
Do I understand correctly that this honor involves a two-tiered process of many experts and only comes once every three years?
Yet, despite the joy we all certainly experience along with this announcement -- this award surely comes without complete surprise to any who have opened this rare volume - whether for the first or the seventh time.
The book is enthralling in vivid detail, sweeping in research, clear and artful in layout. This volume compels those new to Allama Iqbal while surely a challenge to the most conversant in his life, times and literature as well.
Find here a unique blending of illustrations - including poignant old photographs, pieces of manuscript, synopsis and highlights. The scholarly yet current style meshes the milestones and lessons of Allama Iqbal's life into the sweep of history.
Beyond the bouyant gladness of such a great honor, let's look deep and see the book's heart illuminating the turbulence of our time. There is unity and purpose here enough for the present and for many generations ahead and the haunting question toward the end - a call and perhaps a hidden promise: "Will another breeze arrive from the Hijaz?...Will there be another who knows all secrets?"
After all, just the daily news is not enough nor is it the end nor the goal.
Adil, Connie and Thinking, thanks. Yes it is the same event, Connie.
In Karachi, the book is available at Welcome Book Port and Fazlee Sons (Urdu Bazar), Teachers' Development Centre (Tariq Road) and Educational Resource Development Centre (N. Nazimabad).
This is great news Khurram Sahib.
