“Rodinson’s serious work is an analytical history of Europe’s varying attitudes, positive and negative, towards Islam and the Middle East...deserves reading.”—The Economist

Book Description
Since the time of the Crusades, Europeans have viewed Muslim culture and religion through the unique distorting lens of Orientalism, coloring all aspects of their perception and generating a curious blend of fascination and distrust. Maxime Rodinson presents the classic account of this relationship, in a history that is balanced and concise yet full of insight. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
