Homage to Al-Andalus: The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain Book

The Iberian Peninsula was conquered by Islamic forces in 711 AD and this presence continued in this part of Europe for 900 years.This new book tells the intriguing story of al-Andalus: its splendour, tolerance and conflicts. Centuries of Islamic presence in Spain and Portugal left an indelible stamp, like the wonders of the Alhambra and the Great Mosque of Córdoba. The legacy also extends to the rich seam of learning, in science, medicine, literature and philosophy that was later transmitted to the rest of Europe. How did all this come about? In this fascinating new book Michael Barry tells the story of al-Andalus, its rise to splendour and sophistication and its decline. Richly illustrated with outstanding photographs, it shows the achievements of this extraordinary time. It is a book which is essential for those interested in history, for those who want to know this absorbing story and for those who wish to travel and discover the hidden Spain.Read More
