Leo The African By Amin Maalouf

Smells vintage and looks just perfect

In fine condition. I am very satisfied with the purchase. Am reading it now and am happy with my choice to purchase a used book.

Great and belongs with the classics.

An sweeping epic tale that is also deliciously descriptive and imaginative. The tale of Leon the African who is born in Granada when it was still occupied by Muslims, who faces exile numerous times in his life, finds and loses love several times. Rises to riches and power, is captured and made a slave. Lives as a Muslim, Christian and then Muslim again this story has it all. I would and have recommended this book to everyone I know.

Fascinating story. Excellent documentation of the tribulations of displaced people of the era. A must read.
