Lonely and still are now thy marble halls, Thou fair Alhambra! There the feast is o'er; And with the murmur of thy fountain-falls.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the Abencerrages, a noble Moorish family in Granada, during the turbulent period of the city's conquest by Spain. The author paints a vivid portrait of the period through the lens of a complex love story. The clash between the Moorish and Christian worlds is presented as a conflict of ideologies, as well as cultures, with the book exploring the themes of betrayal, revenge, and the struggle to maintain one's identity in the face of adversity. The author examines the motivations of Hamet, a young Abencerrage who is torn between his loyalty to his family and his love for Zayda, a Zegri maiden. The tale is woven with compelling historical details and characters who feel real and relatable, creating a richly textured portrait of a time when chivalry and honour were paramount. The book's insights into the personal and political struggles of a period of dramatic cultural upheaval make it an engaging and illuminating read for anyone interested in history, romance, and the eternal battle between freedom and oppression.
