Registre-se no LibraryThing tpara descobrir se gostará deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Interesting setting. I think we can all agree on that. However, the plot and love story (if you can call it that) would be improbable in a porno, let alone a novel that takes itself (way too) seriously. Also, Arabs didn't drink tea in middle ages and we aren't impressed that Idris bathed a lot. His treatment of his disabled son was cruel, and his lust for breast milk gross. My last Tariq Ali book... Five Stars for the history of Sicily and the balanced contrasts of religions. Two Stars for the improbable and tedious romantic entangles of Muhammed Idrisi. One Star for my disappointment after bring inspired by al-Idrisi in [The Map of Salt and Stars] and so looking forward to reading about his compelling eleven years to create the astonishing maps and geography in his Book of Roger and the unbelievable silver disc. A Sad Star for his lack of courage to protect the young man on his ship. Back to WIKI. > Harzoune Mustapha. Tariq Ali, Un sultan à Palerme. Traduit de l'anglais par Diane Meur, 2007.

Radnja četvrtog romana iz Islamskog kvinteta Tarika Alija odvija se u srednjovekovnom Palermu, muslimanskom gradu koji po lepoti i veličini ne zaostaje za Bagdadom ili Kordovom. Godina je 1153. Normani osvajaju Siciliju, ali na celom ostrvu i na dvoru dominiraju arapska kultura i jezik. Sultan Ruđeri (kralj Rožer) okružen je umnim muslimanima, naložnicama, kao i upravom koju predvode nadareni evnusi. U ovom očaravajućem romanu Tarik Ali nam predstavlja život i ljubavi srednjovekovnog kartografa Muhameda al Idrisija. Rastrzan između sultana, koji mu je prisan prijatelj, i prijatelja koji napuštaju ostrvo ili kuju zavere da se odupru normanskoj vladavini, Idrisi traži privremenu utehu u naručju stare tajne ljubavi. Ali – nenadano će se naći u središtu ljubavi dve divne žene. Sultan u Palermu je priča u kojoj se ponos, pohlepa i požuda prepliću sa otporom i uzvišenošću. To su odjeci prošlosti koji se i danas mogu čuti. Pertence à sérieIslam Quintet (4) Está contido emPrêmios
The fourth novel in Tariq Ali's 'Islam Quintet' charts the life and loves of the medieval cartographer Muhammed al-Idrisi. Torn between his close friendship with the sultan and his friends who are leaving the island or plotting a resistance to Norman rule, Idrisi finds temporary solace in the harem; but his conscience is troubled... A Sultan in Palermo is a mythic novel in which pride, greed, and lust intermingle with resistance and greatness. Debunking myths about Oriental exoticism, it echoes a past that can still be heard today. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Though I am a fan of Ali's writing, this novel is probably my least favorite of the four I've so far read in his Islam Quintet (I'd rank them 1, 3, 2, 4). I am looking forward to rounding out the series with the final installment soon. ( )
