Sull'autore

Sull'autore di Gli arabi

Tim Mackintosh-Smith, autore di Arabs: A 3,000-Year History of Peoples, Tribes and Empires, è un eminente arabista, storico e pluripremiato scrittore di viaggi, rinomato per la sua competenza nella lingua araba e nella storia culturale. Nato in Inghilterra e formatosi a Oxford, vive in Yemen dagli anni '80, immergendosi profondamente nel patrimonio della regione: una prospettiva che informa la sua esplorazione dell'identità araba attraverso lenti linguistiche e migratorie in questa vasta opera storica.

Il suo libro d'esordio, Yemen: Travels in Dictionary Land, ha vinto il Thomas Cook-Daily Telegraph Award, mentre la sua acclamata trilogia che ripercorre i viaggi medievali di Ibn Battutah (Travels with a Tangerine, The Hall of a Thousand Columns, Landfalls) lo ha consacrato come un maestro nel fondere l'erudizione con una narrazione vivida.

L'autorità di Mackintosh-Smith si estende oltre la carta stampata: ha presentato la serie di documentari della BBC Travels with a Tangerine e ha contribuito alla Library of Arabic Literature come Senior Research Fellow. Scritto durante la guerra civile in Yemen, Arabs è stato salutato come "un libro di vasta portata e di sbalorditiva intuizione", capace di sintetizzare tre millenni di storia sfidando al contempo le visioni omogeneizzate dell'identità araba. Le sue opere, tra cui Yemen: The Unknown Arabia e il thriller storico Bloodstone, riflettono una carriera dedicata a illuminare le complessità del mondo arabo.
