A good set of memoirs, about a good-ole boy of Salahadin's Syria. He was one of the Kurdish soldiers who were promoted to their level of competence by Nur-eddin, and benefited from the feudal system the Muslims ran in Syria. It is also famous for Usamah's vision of the Franks, especially their childish medicine. There are many similarities between his life and that of a Western gentleman of the same status, either in the West, or the Crusading states. A good antidote to the film "Kingdom of Heaven" a revisionist work. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The life of Usâmah ibn-Munqidh epitomized the height of Arab civilization as it flourished in the period of the early Crusades. His memoirs present an uncommon non-European perspective and understanding of the military and cultural contact between East and West, Muslim and Christian. His writing is remarkable for its narrative clarity, its humanity, and its wealth of perceptive details. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
