The caliphatist and the traditionalist

Perhaps among the world's best known obscure writer (or translator "renderer" which would technically be more accurate), Marmaduke Pickthall lived an interesting life. His story, here.

Then there's also the guy who keeps turning up in other people's stories, Rene Guenon @ Abdul Wahid Yahya. Read this (relatively) short article on his life, and his faith here.

Oh there's also this lecture entitled, ahem, "The Past, Present and Future of International Law: A Critical Third World Approach.", Wednesday evening , 5.30 – 7.00pm. Pretend you don't have exams.

 

p/s Go on, flame me for the title. Like I care anyway…
