In this conversation for the Melbourne Writers Festival, Richard Fidler brings to life the story of medieval wanderers who travelled to the edges of the known world during Islam’s fabled Golden Age, expertly weaving beautiful and thrilling pictures of a dazzling lost world with the tale of an empire’s rise and devastating fall. Fidler is joined on stage by Astrid Edwards.
This conversation was presented by the Vision Australia Library in partnership with Melbourne Writers Festival. The event was held at the Vision Australia Kooyong office on 5 May 2023.
