«Córdoba de los Omeyas» is the contemporary fiction work by Antonio Muñoz Molina, published by Booket in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
The starting point is a stay in Córdoba: from the hotel window, with the bell tower that was once a minaret in the background, the author evokes the Islamic city. The narrative covers the Caliphate of Córdoba, from Abd al-Rahman III to the taifa kingdoms, and its monumental and cultural legacy: the Mezquita, Madinat al-Zahra, Averroes and Maimonides.
It is volume 6 of the Biblioteca Antonio Muñoz Molina. The work originally appeared in 1991; this paperback edition is from 2001.
Suitable for readers interested in the history of al-Andalus and in the evocative prose of Antonio Muñoz Molina.
