Synopsis of Léon l'Africain

Léon l'Africain es una autobiografía imaginaria basada en una historia real. En 1518, un embajador magrebí es capturado por piratas sicilianos y ofrecido como regalo al Papa León X. Este viajero, Hassan al-Wazzan, se convierte en el geógrafo Jean-Léon de Médicis, conocido como Léon l'Africain. La novela narra su vida en Granada, Fez, Tombouctou, El Cairo, Constantinopla y Roma, donde enseña árabe, escribe sobre la cultura hebrea y redacta su famosa 'Descripción de África'. La vida de Léon está marcada por grandes acontecimientos de su tiempo, como la Reconquista de Granada, la conquista de Egipto por los otomanos, el apogeo del imperio de Askia Mohamed Touré en África negra y el saqueo de Roma por las tropas de Carlos V. Amin Maalouf presenta a Léon l'Africain como un hombre de Oriente y Occidente, un precursor de la humanidad cosmopolita actual.
