300 years after the death of the prophet Muhammad, the Muslim religion is established with the help of the state system of the caliphate. Within this time, a golden age is lived in the city of Baghdad, full of science, learning, culture, but also dangers, corruption and threats. The summary of the murder of the caliph of Baghdad, which teaches us how this religion was founded, what it was like to live in it, and how sooner or later its scientific advances came to an end. Arrancamos con el episodio número 58 ya de este podcast Bibliotequeando. Muchísimas gracias por el apoyo. Hace un año empezamos esta idea de hablar, discutir, enseñar sobre todo tipo de temas a través de los libros. Así que sin el apoyo de ustedes no hubiese podido seguir estando aquí.
Así que, como siempre, muchas gracias. Les habla Ricardo Lugo, arroba Bibliotequeando en las redes. Este libro que les traigo hoy... Es un libro con mucho contexto histórico y quería darle ese sabor a la novela porque creo que sin ese sabor la novela no se siente lo mismo. Este libro, esta conexión que tiene con distintos eventos de los califatos, de la época de labor del Islam, invasiones, guerras, momentos políticos fuertes, momentos religiosos, son muy importantes para uno sentirse parte de un espectador metido de verdad en la novela y por lo tanto, This summary is longer than normal and I decided to divide it into two sections. Today we are going to listen to the first part of the book.
The first three chapters, so to speak, are six and the second summary will be the next episode where we will have the following chapters. You will be able to listen to it tomorrow, but I wanted to release them on different days so that people can listen to it on their own time and not feel so heavy listening to me speak for two hours in a row. But as always, let's start by giving a little context about the author. It's interesting, the author became famous relatively quickly and relatively recently. About 10 years ago, he independently published his first novel, La Esperanza del Tibet, by the author José Vicente Alfaro. And he has become quite popular in this world of historical fiction, especially in these independent authors.
He has many elements of Ken Follett, of Carlos Ruiz Zafón, that he has said personally. I think it also has elements of Javier Moro, author that we interviewed recently, a couple of episodes. And because it brings this concept of I'm going to grab a time or an important event in history and I'm going to put fictional elements. It's not that I'm going to change the story, I'm just going to add situations of love, betrayal, friendships, business, corruption that could have happened during that time and in that way give it a different color to that time. And he does it very well with this golden age of Islam. The Islamic golden age was a period in history between the eighth century approximately until the thirteenth century during which a large part of the Islamic world was governed by several caliphates.
It sounds archaic, the concept of caliphate, because today it is a very fundamentalist concept, but at this time there was an extreme flourishing of science and culture.
