- Full title :Leo Africanus / Amin Maalouf ; translated by Peter Sluglett.
Summary
Leo Africanus is a beautiful book of tales about people who are forced to accept choices made for them by someone else ... It relates, particularly at times and often imaginatively, the story of those who did not make it to the New World. Exile and pilgrimage, the power of sexual love and family bonds, the savagery of war, and the profundity of religious passions are masterfully evoked in this tale of one man's journey, set against the splendor of the Renaissance and the vast tapestry of Muslim and Christian empires.-http://www.booksinprint.com.
