Overview
Una historia repleta de pasiones y secretos en una época extraordinaria
Año 973 d. C. Hubo un tiempo en que solo los libros podían custodiar la sabiduría y por ello se convirtieron en tesoros. Para protegerlos, nació en Córdoba la mayor biblioteca de la Historia de Occidente. Será allí donde llegue Nasir, un joven médico procedente de Bagdad, con la misión de encontrar un valioso manuscrito. Entonces conocerá a Lubna, una de las esclavas más audaces y cercanas del califa, cuidadora de la sabiduría y los libros.
La biblioteca de Córdoba nos traslada a la época de esplendor del califato, donde las mujeres -poetas, matemáticas, conservadoras y catalogadoras- eran las encargadas de salvaguardar el conocimiento. Este relato extraordinario, repleto de intrigas palaciegas, misterios y pasión, marcará para siempre el destino de Nasir y Lubna.
Andrea D. Morales, autora de La última sultana y La dama de la judería, recupera la desconocida figura de Lubna de Córdoba y la olvidada inmensidad de su biblioteca. Al darles vida en esta novela nos demuestra que los libros siempre han tenido y tendrán el mayor de los poderes: salvarnos del olvido y convertirnos en eternos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A story filled with passion and secrets, set in an extraordinary age.
Year 973 a. C. There was a time when books were the only custodians of wisdom, and thus became treasure. To protect them, the greatest library in Western History was created in Cordoba. It is there that Nasir, a young doctor from Bagdad, arrives on a mission to find a valuable manuscript. He will then meet Lubna, one of the boldest slaves, close to the caliph, keeper of wisdom and books.
The Library in Cordoba takes us back to a time of splendor in the Caliphate, when women—poets, mathematicians, curators, and cataloguers—were charged with safekeeping knowledge. This extraordinary tale, full of palace intrigue, mystery, and passion, will mark Nasir and Lubna’s fate forevermore.
Andrea D. Morales, author of The Last Sultana and The Lady in the Jewish Quarter, restores the unknown figure of Lubna of Cordoba, and the forgotten immensity of its library. By bringing them to life in this novel, Morales shows us that books have always had and will always have the greatest of powers: to save us from oblivion and make us eternal.
