«Buscando desesperadamente el paraíso» is the autobiographical account by Ziauddin Sardar, published by GEDISA in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
In 1972, Ziauddin Sardar receives a visit from two holy men who reproach him for his lack of faith. That experience begins a spiritual quest through Morocco, Turkey, the Shah's Iran, Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Gaddafi's Libya and post-Soviet Afghanistan. His account combines experiences, irony and analysis of Islamism.
