Beschreibung

"It is 1492, and the keys to Granada, the last Muslim state in the Spanish Peninsula, have been handed over to the Christian king and queen: the final vestiges of Islamic rule in Europe are swept away. As the triumphant new masters of Granada burn books, Abu Jaafar, a bookseller by trade, quietly moves his rich library out of town, while preparing for the marriage of his granddaughter Saleema to his apprentice Saad. The tangled lives of Abu Jaafar's family, his descendants, and his community bear witness to the vanquishing of Muslim and Jewish life: confiscations, forced conversions, and expulsions.Radwa Ashour's sweeping trilogy, set over one hundred years against the backdrop of the great historical events of sixteenth-century Europe, tells the story of those who remained in Andalusia, of the individuals who struggled to maintain faith and hope in a possible future. It narrates a community's effort to comprehend what has happened to them, of their valiant but ultimately unsuccessful efforts to resist the destruction of their identity. Named a top literary work of the twentieth century by the Arab Writers' Union, Granada is now available in English in its entirety for the first time.
