What you do in the dark - when no one is watching, when no recognition is coming - is the most permanent thing you will ever make.

You have probably had this feeling: that the careful, devoted work you put into something matters, even if you cannot prove it matters, even if the world has not confirmed it yet. This book is the evidence that you are right. Ibn Kathir was born on the volcanic plains south of Damascus around 1300 CE. His father died while he was young. His mother brought him to the city. He spent the next seventy years in the scholarly circles of medieval Damascus - memorizing the Quran, sitting at the feet of one of the most formidable minds of the fourteenth century, surviving the Black Death, losing his sight to decades of reading by lamplight - and producing works that are still being studied, cited, and taught seven hundred years after his death.
