Legends from the Land of Andalusia

About this book

Between the moaning of history and the secrets of palaces.. has the tale of Andalusia truly ended? Andalusia was never merely a geographical spot that fell from the map of rule; it is a sentiment transcending time, dwelling in the corners of white cities and seeping in with the scent of oranges in the alleys of Seville and Cordoba. In this work, writer Weam Adel takes us on a journey unlike any other; an investigative journalistic adventure in the heart of modern Spain, digging between the hidden layers of history in search of the souls that made glory. Here legends take form in pulsating characters; you meet Layla, that woman with the mind of a hundred men who defended the conscience of Andalusia when voices fell silent. And you trace Zian, the knight polished by orphanhood and wisdom and fashioned by the hand of a mother unbroken before the storms of war. From the clash of swords in the arenas of Shadhuna to the halls of the Alhambra palace where stone whispers "there is no victor but God," you will find yourself traveling through time. This book is no mere narration of the past.
