In a time of crisis where two empires fight for power in the Mediterranean, Hasan, born in Granada just before 1492, known as Leo Africanus, embarks on an extraordinary pilgrimage. Guided by his passion for life, Leo visits the mysterious city of Timbuktu, the fifteen black kingdoms between the Niger and the Nile, and the dazzling Constantinople. Finally, his knowledge and experiences, which merge Eastern and Western culture, the Christian and Islamic world, are put at the service of Pope Leo X and Julius de Medici in the fascinating Renaissance Rome. This historical novel by Amin Maalouf transports us to a world of adventure and discovery.
