Reader reviews for Allah-Akbar, God Is Great: An Arab Legend Of The Siege And Conquest Of Granada (1878)

From the publisher

""Allah-Akbar, God Is Great: An Arab Legend Of The Siege And Conquest Of Granada"" is a historical novel written by Washington Irving and first published in 1878. The book tells the story of the fall of the last Muslim kingdom in Spain, Granada, in 1492 to the Christian forces led by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. The novel is based on an Arab legend that has been passed down through generations and is a vivid portrayal of the siege and conquest of Granada. The book is a fascinating account of the clash of civilizations and the end of an era in the history of Spain. Irving's detailed descriptions of the battles, the politics, and the culture of the time make this book a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Spain and the Islamic world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
