AWW23: Adventures in the Golden Age of Islam - Richard Fidler

Chair: Nicole Abadee


In The Book of Roads & Kingdoms, Richard Fidler charts
the story of the medieval travellers who journeyed to the edges
of the known world during Islam’s Golden Age, travelling through
China, India, Africa and Byzantium. In conversation with Nicole
Abadee, he talks about the flourishing cultural life of Imperial
Baghdad, the literary accounts of its wanderers and the
devastating fall of this dazzling lost world.
