«En el nombre de Dios» is the historical novel by Gonzalo Hernández Guarch, published by Almuzara in paperback (480 pages, in Spanish).
In 1960, Jacques Lewis, a student writing a thesis on the Quran, is recruited by an American agency. In Cairo he discovers that his work conceals something more dangerous: the network of Sayyid al-Qutb and the Muslim Brotherhood. The novel recreates fundamentalist militancy in Amman, Beirut or Jerusalem and pits two ways of understanding the world against each other.
Published in September 2009 as a first edition, within Almuzara's Novela collection. Subtitle: «Los orígenes del integrismo islámico en una novela estremecedora».
For readers of historical fiction and religious fiction with an interest in the political and social background of Islamic fundamentalism.
