Barnaby Rogerson
The House Divided
Barnaby Rogerson’s day job is running Eland Publishing which specialises in keeping the classics of travel literature in print. At the same time his irrepressible energy and sweeping erudition have led to his writing a dozen books about North Africa and Early Islam. His latest brings all this together, The House Divided tracing these narratives through the first caliphates and the medieval empires forged by Arabs, Persians and Turks, to the contemporary Middle East. The result is “a masterly engagement with the most delicate and important of subjects – filled with gentle empathy, learning and rare balance,” according to Rory Stewart. In this unique event, Barnaby will be in conversation with Lord Mark Sedwill, cross-bench peer, former National Security Adviser and Cabinet Secretary.
