El libro clasico de 1551, con ortografia modernizada para facilitar la lectura.

This is a classic story of the exotic landscape of medieval Spain, written about 1551, in a new, easy to read English translation.

Abindarraez is so in love with beautiful Jarifa that when he is taken prisoner by Rodrigo de Narvaez, he asks to be freed for only two days so that he can marry her.

What happens next shows that love and friendship are stronger than war, even during the final stages of the Reconquest of Spain. "I was transported into a heroic medieval past that may or may not have existed, but surely should have. ... Knauss has captured the flavour of the language and the time...

Abencerraje is a good story that deserves the fresh translation Knauss offers." - Seymour Hamilton, author of The Astreya Trilogy
