«El guerrero y el sufí» is the historical novel by César Vidal, published by DEBOLSILLO in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
On the eve of one of the most famous battles in the history of the West, five lives converge irremediably. Ahmad, a young Almohad from the Maghreb, dreams of the rewards of jihad against the infidels. Alfonso VIII, king of Castile, seeks to avoid attacks from other Christian kings and to face the Almohads with guarantees. Rodrigo abandons his lands to fight against the invaders; Raquel tries to help the Jews survive; and Abdallah writes a book on an esoteric subject. Vidal explores religious intolerance, the ambition of conquest, the search for wisdom, and little-known aspects of Islamic thought.
The work belongs to the publisher's Best Seller collection. The novel is set in the era of the Crusades and was published in 2012.
César Vidal Manzanares is a Spanish historian, author, political commentator, and radio host.
