Book Description

In 'Leila or, the Siege of Granada', readers are transported to the summer of 1491, where the armies of Ferdinand and Isabel are laying siege to the city of Granada. Amidst the chaos, a mysterious figure named Almamen, known for his alleged enchanting powers, wanders the streets and makes his way to the fortress of the Alhambra. There, he meets Muza, a proud and imposing warrior, and their exchange sets the stage for a tale of love, war, and intrigue. Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton's writing paints a vivid picture of Andalusia, complete with moonlit fountains and snow-capped mountains, and brings to life a cast of characters who will captivate readers until the final page.
