Tariq Ali

A Sultan in Palermo

Book 4 in the epic islam quintet – tales of history, religion and conflict, stretching from moorish Andalucia to present-day London, Paris and Lahore.

Klappentext:

In twelfth-century Sicily, Arab culture and language persist under the Norman occupation. Here, Sultan Rujari surrounds himself with brilliant minds, among them the cartographer Muhammed al-Idrisi, a scientist whose legacy persists to this day. Faithful to the Sultan, al-Idrisi finds his loyalties torn when his friends begin to plot resistance to Norman rule. A troubled conscience spurs him to find solace in romantic intrigues while political turmoil mounts and threatens to tear the island apart.
