Sinossi

In "The Moors in Spain," Stanley Lane-Poole delves into the historical and cultural impact of the Moorish presence in the Iberian Peninsula from the 8th to the 15th centuries. Employing a narrative style that blends meticulous research with vivid storytelling, Lane-Poole encapsulates the richness of Moorish contributions to Spanish architecture, art, science, and philosophy. The book is situated within the context of late 19th-century European historiography, which often romanticized the Islamic influence on Europe, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of a transformative period in Spanish history that has fueled scholarly debate ever since. Stanley Lane-Poole was a prominent British historian and archaeologist whose extensive travels in Spain and North Africa enriched his perspectives on Moorish civilization. His deep admiration for the Islamic art and culture, coupled with his thorough academic background, drove him to illuminate a facet of history that he felt was often overshadowed. Lane-Poole's expertise allowed him to weave an intricate narrative that not only informs but also engages the reader's imagination, showcasing the harmonious coexistence of diverse cultures and their legacies. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in medieval history, cultural studies, or the enduring influence of the Islamic world on Western civilization. Lane-Poole's scholarly yet accessible prose invites both academics and general readers to explore the profound legacy of the Moors in Spain, making it a crucial addition to the library of anyone seeking to understand the complexities of cultural identity and historical narrative.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
    This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
    "The Hundred Years' War on Palestine" by Rashid Khalidi presents a comprehensive history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict from a Palestinian perspective. It begins with an 1899 letter from Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, the author's ancestor, warning against Zionist plans in Palestine. Khalidi uses archival materials and family reports to challenge traditional narratives of the conflict as a mere clash over territory. He argues that it's a century-long colonial war against Palestinians, led by Zionists and later Israel, with support from Britain and the U.S. The book covers major events like the Balfour Declaration, the 1948 destruction of Palestine, and Israel’s 1982 Lebanon invasion. Khalidi aims to provide a balanced account, acknowledging Palestinian leadership flaws and the rise of national movements on both sides and offering a fresh perspective on an ongoing conflict.

    Imagine sitting with an esteemed writer on his or her front porch somewhere in the world and swapping life stories. Dr. Wayne Flynt got the opportunity to do just this with Nelle Harper Lee. In a friendship that blossomed over a dozen years starting when Lee relocated back to Alabama after having had a stroke, Flynt and his wife Dartie became regular visitors at the assisted living facility that was Lee's new home. And there the conversation began, with an invitation to "Come in, sit down, and stay a while." 
     
     
     
    The stories exchanged ranged widely over the topics of Alabama history, Alabama folklore, family genealogy, and American literature, of course. Wayne and his wife were often joined by Alice Lee, the oldest Lee sister, a living encyclopedia on the subject of family genealogy, and middle sister Louise Lee Conner. 
     
     
     
    The hours spent visiting, in intimate closeness, are still cherished by Wayne Flynt. They yielded revelations large and small, which have been shaped into Afternoons with Harper Lee. Part memoir, part biography, this book offers a unique window into the life and mind and preoccupations of one of America's best-loved writers. Flynt and Harper Lee and her sisters learned a great deal from each other, and though this is not a history book, their shared interest in Alabama and its history made this extraordinary work possible.
