Vladimir Bartol (1903-1967) was born in Trieste. He studied at the Universities of Paris and Ljubljana during the 1920’s, concentrating on philosophy, world religions, psychology (he was among the first to introduce Freud’s teachings to the former Yugoslavians) and biology. He later participated in the resistance movement against Nazi occupation of the former Yugoslavia between the years 1940 and 1945. Alamut, his second of two novels, was the culmination of his ideas and experiences of totalitarianism during the years before and after World War II.
