About This Book

Una poesía narrativa en la que se alternan invocaciones a la fe y descripciones épicas del triunfo moro y la caída de Zahara; muestra las fiestas y la ostentación del vencedor Muley Abul-Hasán, la procesión de prisioneros cristianos, la crueldad de la guardia africana y la compasión de la multitud mora que rescata hijos cautivos; narra el paso de la alegría al horror, el alzamiento popular y la violencia subsecuente, y reflexiona sobre el poder inspirador de la fe, el curso de los imperios y las consecuencias humanas de la guerra.
