«Mahoma» is the biography of the prophet of Islam written by Juan Vernet, published by Espasa in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The book follows the life of Muhammad from his early years in Mecca to his death, and explains the context in which he claimed to have received the revelation from the archangel Gabriel, the subsequent fixing of the Quran, his departure to Medina, the confrontation with Mecca and the unification of the Arabian peninsula, without losing sight of his relationship with Judaism and Christianity.
The edition was published in 2006 under the 'Fuera de colección y one shot' line of Espasa.
For readers interested in the history of Islam and in the religious keys to some current conflicts.
