    <![CDATA[Novel ini merekam perjalanan panjang Baldassare Embriaco, seorang saudagar buku keturunan Genoa asal Gibelet, Libanon. Selama hampir dua tahun ia menjelajahi tiga benua dan mengelilingi nyaris separuh dunia—Libanon, Maroko, Turki, Yunani, Portugal, Spanyol, Belanda, Inggris, Prancis, Italia—demi mencari sebuah buku berkekuatan magis yang konon bisa menyelamatkan bumi dari kiamat yang diramalkan kian mendekat. Buku itu memuat nama Tuhan yang keseratus, sebuah nama rahasia yang tersembunyi, sebagai pelengkap 99 nama Tuhan yang lazim dikenal oleh umat muslim.<br/><br/>Dihiasi kisah cinta penuh liku, benturan antaragama dan peradaban, renungan filosofis tentang kesejatian hidup manusia, serta kronik sejarah yang kaya, novel berlatar abad ketujuh belas ini memikat kita sejak halaman pertama. Kisah ini mengukuhkan pengarangnya, Amin Maalouf—pemenang hadiah sastra bergengsi Prix Goncourt 1993—sebagai salah satu novelis terkemuka dunia saat ini.]]>

    <![CDATA[It is 1665, and all the signs and portents foretell that next year the Antichrist will appear and the world will come to an end.  Antiquarian merchant and sage Balthasar sets out in search of a rare book that may bring salvation to a distraught world, a mysterious work entitled The Hundredth Name.  In the course of his odyssey throughout the Mediterranean and beyond, Balthasar travels through countries in ruin, cities in flames, and stricken communities awaiting the Apocalypse. He encounters fear, falsehood, and disillusion, but he also discovers love at a time when he had given up all hope.]]>
