4.9/5 (15268 ratings)

Description:The major event of the year 1492, to most Europeans at the time, would not have been Columbus' discovery of the New World but rather the fall of the last Moorish kingdom in Spain. After centuries of struggle, the forces of Christendom had driven the Moors into a tiny enclave in the south based on the capital of Granada. This novel encompasses the final destruction of a glorious, sophisticated civilization as well as the birth pangs of the Renaissance and the Spanish Inquisition. The lives of three people are entangled in this drama, a young Jewish woman desperate to conceal the fact that her family's forced conversion to Christianity was a fraud, an Arab intellectual hopelessly seeking the continuation of his life of philosophic contemplation, and a brutal, ambitious Spanish knight whose only road to power will be over a bloody battlefield. War, politics, religion, lust, and love are all factors in this story which spans years of heartache and glory.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
