Amin Maalouf
Amin Maalouf is a celebrated Lebanese-French author and intellectual, known for his poignant explorations of identity, culture, and the complexities of the modern world. Born in Beirut in 1949, Maalouf's literary career spans genres, including novels, essays, and historical accounts, with notable works such as 'The Rock of Tanios' and 'In the Name of Identity.'
