The Unfinished Event is a narrative of the beginning of the destruction of Alamut and the fall of the Ismailis. All the events of the 170-year life of the Lords of the Castles come to life before the reader's eyes in this narrative like an exciting nightmare. In this book, the author is like a dreamer who is interpreting and interpreting the strange events of that period. Fatemeh Ali Asghar is a bold journalist and a skilled writer, and with this work she shows that she knows the research of Iranian history and culture to the highest degree. Ali Asghar narrates historical events so polished and clear that it is as if she is an archaeologist reporting from the excavation site. By reading this narrative, we not only become aware of the secrets of the Ismailis, the Assassins, the Nizaris, the Fatimid and Islamic caliphs, the Seljuks, the Hulagu Khans, and so on, but we also become familiar with a part of our historical self and the roots of some of the faith and moral beliefs of our fathers, as if in each era, the same ancient, millennia-old body is presented to us in a new guise, young, naive, and tempting.
