Corre el año de 1252 y Mukhtar ben Saleh, un maestro musulmán hastiado de los rigores del poder cristiano, decide abandonar su pueblecito andaluz en busca de un lugar en el que pueda vivir entre sus iguales. Armado apenas con un Corán, algo de ropa y la pluma que en día le regalara el imán, Mukhtar deambulará por el viejo y todaví­a esplendoroso al-Andalus y recorrerá¡ las callejuelas de Sevilla, Córdoba y Granada. Sin embargo, no tardará en darse cuenta de que su viaje no es solamente físico: gracias a las enseñanzas de distintos maestros a los que irá encontrando en el camino, Mukhtar descubrirá un sendero de conocimientos en el que confluyen las tres religiones que en aquel momento convivían: el islam, el cristianismo y el judaísmo. / The year of 1252 and Mukhtar ben Saleh, a Muslim teacher jaded from the rigors of Christian power, decides to leave his Andalusian village in search of a place where they can live among their peers.

Novela historica teniendo como protagonista a un vencido. Me gustó como relata la historia a partir del personaje principal. Hay también reflexiones de la vida que te invitan a pensar. Muy recomendable.
