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.
