Autorenporträt
Marmaduke William Pickthall (1875-1936) was a British novelist, esteemed Islamic scholar, and a noted translator of the Quran. With a remarkable acumen for literary creations rooted in both Western and Eastern sensibilities, Pickthall's work was a synthesis of his deep engagement with Islam and his British heritage. 'The Valley of the Kings' is one of his noteworthy novels that transports readers to exotic landscapes, blending adventure with a nuanced understanding of cultures. His literary style often reflected his profound respect for Muslim societies, which he garnered through extensive travels and residency in Islamic countries. Pickthall converted to Islam in 1917, a pivotal transformation that further enriched his writing with authenticity and a palpable reverence for Islamic traditions. His translation of the Quran, titled 'The Meaning of the Glorious Koran,' remains a significant contribution, prided for its eloquence and precision. This translation has fortified his position as an important figure in Islamic literature, extending his influence beyond fiction. Pickthall's legacy is that of a bridge between East and West, a role he fulfilled through both his literary output and intercultural endeavors, earning him a place of respect among scholars and readers alike.
