La guerra de Al Ándalus

Synopsis of La guerra de Al Ándalus

In 'Banu Qasi. The War of Al Andalus', the Upper Border of the Ebro, where the descendants of the great Musa ibn Musa retake the path of revolt, gives part of its prominence to the Cordoba of the emirate, to the nascent kingdom of Pamplona, to the powerful King Alfonso III in his new court of León and Bobastro, the 'eagle's nest', refuge in the Malaga mountains of Umar ibn Hafsún, the muladí rebel who will end up putting the very survival of Al Andalus in check. With surprising historical rigor and a clear and unadorned language, Aurensanz masterfully intertwines the vicissitudes of the protagonists in this diversity of scenarios, and offers us an ambitious and complex story that will once again trap the reader.
