«A la sombra del granado» is the historical novel by Tariq Ali, published by Salvat in paperback (201 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the kingdom of Granada after the Reconquista, the novel follows a Morisco family trying to survive the collapse of their world. The conversion decree imposed by the new Christian rulers forces Muslims to choose between diaspora, concealment, or a heartbreaking decision, in a narrative that weaves together the inquisitorial threat and the figure of Cardinal Cisneros.
It is the first volume of Tariq Ali's Islam Quintet. The English original, «Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree», was published in 1992 and this Spanish edition appeared in 1995.
For readers of historical fiction interested in Muslim Spain and the fate of Morisco communities.
Tariq Ali is a Pakistani-British political activist, writer, journalist, filmmaker, and public intellectual. He is a member of the editorial committee of the New Left Review and Sin Permiso, and contributes to The Guardian, CounterPunch, and the London Review of Books.
