“Return of the Sage” is the novelization of the life, discoveries, writings, and ruminations of Abu Nasr al-Farabi, the towering intellectual figure in the Middle Ages who was known as the Aristotle of Central Asia and the Middle East. During his many travels, al-Farabi intensively studied the subtle aspects of the various cultures he encountered and developed his philosophy, which he detailed in his numerous treatises.
The leading contemporary Kazakh writer, Anuar Alimzhanov, has written an impressive novel about this legendary scholar.
His keen eye and refined style will pique western intellectual readers’ interest and leave them as tranquil as one of the exquisite gardens described in this book.

Blood and Sweat
Abdi-Jamil Nurpeisov
We, the Kazakhs…
So little is known about this people and their vast country, the world’s ninth largest, though the Kazakhs have seen much of man’s vast history. From their roots as traders and herdsmen during the Silk Route period to their modern experience with atomic bomb testing and space age triumph, the history of Kazakh culture remains relatively unexplored in the Western world.
Even less known is author Abdi-Jamil Nurpeisov, venerated sage of Kazakh and Russian literature, though his books have been published in translation worldwide. Nurpeisov exposes Kazakh life to Western readers as Tolstoy did with Russians, and Marquez – Colombians. Nurpeisov’s eye-opening novel unveils the largely unknown history, life and customs of the Kazakhs.
