Book Description

A mediados del siglo XII, el Mediterráneo constituía un mundo en tensión permanente: en Oriente, Saladino se preparaba para asaltar Jerusalén, y en Occidente los invasores almohades imponían su dominio en Al-Andalus. Justamente en esas tierras, en la ciudad de Córdoba, nació en el seno de una familia judía Moisés ben Maimón, médico y filósofo, conocido también como Maimónides. Fueron tempos difíciles que obligaron a su padre, un respetado rabino, a emprender con su familia la ruta del exilio tras verse forzado a apostatar de su fe. Mientras seguimos a Moisés a través de los zocos y las escuelas de medicina, de las sinagogas y de los palacios, de los puertos y las ciudades de Al-Andalus, Marruecos, Tierra Santa y Egipto, se nos revela un cosmos de belleza, lucha y contrastes, donde sus habitantes, víctimas de los tiempos convulsos que les ha tocado vivir, anhelan conocer la sabiduría, encontrar el amor y descubrir el sentido último de la existencia.
