Jacobs is considered one of the leading Hispanists of his generation. This is his meditation on Andalusia, its Islamic heritage and the romantic allure it has exercised on generations of Western travellers. Full of references to ancient and modern day travel writers the book takes us from Granada south, through Morocco to Timbuktu. Jacobs's book is an extraordinary mixture of fact and imagination that spreads new light on this fascinating part of Spanish and European and African history.
