Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Best known today as the author of Don Quixote-one of the most beloved and widely read novels in the Western tradition-Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616) was a poet and a playwright as well. After some early successes on the Madrid stage in the 1580s, his theatrical career was interrupted by other literary efforts. Yet, eager to prove himself as a playwright, shortly before his death he published a collection of his later plays before they were ever performed. With their depiction of captives in North Africa and at the Ottoman court, two of these, 'The Bagnios of Algiers' and 'The Great Sultana,' draw heavily on Cervantes's own experiences as a captive, and echo important episodes in Don Quixote. They are set in a Mediterranean world where Spain and its Muslim neighbors clashed repeatedly while still remaining in close contact, with merchants, exiles, captives, soldiers, and renegades frequently crossing between the two sides. The plays provide revealing insights into Spain's complex perception of the world of Mediterranean Islam. Despite their considerable literary and historical interest, these two plays have never before been translated into English. This edition presents them along with an introductory essay that places them in the context of Cervantes's drama, the early modern stage, and the political and cultural relations between Christianity and Islam in the early modern period.…

Gebunden. Zustand: New. Faithfully translated into modern, accessible English, The Abencerraje and Ozmin and Daraja offer rich imaginings of life on the Christian-Muslim frontier and reveal early modern Spain s profound fascination with the Moorish culture that was officially .

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Since its publication in 1561, an anonymous tale of love, friendship, and chivalry has captivated readers in Spain and across Europe. 'The Abencerraje' tells of the Moorish knight AbindarrÁez, whose plans to wed are interrupted when he is taken prisoner by Christian knights. His captor, a Spanish governor, befriends and admires the Moorish knight, ultimately releasing him to marry his beloved. Their enormously popular tale was repeated or imitated in numerous ballads and novels; when the character Don Quixote is wounded in his first sortie, he imagines himself as AbindarrÁez on the field. Several decades later, in the tense years leading up to the expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain, Mateo AlemÁn reprised themes from this romance in his novel GuzmÁn de Alfarache. In his version, the Moorish lady Daraja is captured by the Catholic monarchs Ferdinand and Isabel; she and her lover OzmÍn are forced to engage in a variety of ruses to protect their union until they are converted to Christianity and married. Though 'OzmÍn and Daraja' is more elaborate in execution than 'The Abencerraje,' both tales show deep sympathy for their Moorish characters. Faithfully translated into modern, accessible English, these finely wrought literary artifacts offer rich imaginings of life on the Christian-Muslim frontier. Contextualized with a detailed introduction, along with contemporary legal documents, polemics, and ballads, 'The Abencerraje' and 'OzmÍn and Daraja' reveals early modern Spain's profound fascination with the Moorish culture that was officially denounced and persecuted. By recalling the intimate and sympathetic bonds that often connected Christians to the heritage of Al-Andalus, these tales of romance and companionship offer a nuanced view of relationships across a religious divide.…
