The Tale of the Lisboni

Author's name: Ibrahim Ahmed Issa

Don Sancho of Lisbon… a name that became a legend passed down through generations, a dream for all who yearned for freedom. Born into a Moorish family under the shadow of the Inquisition, he experienced early travel to the New World, where he witnessed the strangeness of different cultures and the cruelty of man enslaving his fellow man. But longing for Andalusia, and the memory of a fleeting night in Seville, drew him back to a homeland no longer the same. From a sailor fleeing his past, Sancho transforms into a rebel carrying the banner of his ancestors, a defiance pursued by the authorities, and a hero resisting injustice in the countryside of Seville and the hills of Granada, searching for his beloved and the true meaning of freedom. Part of the Tales of the Forgotten series, this novel revives the destinies of those lost to oblivion, in a time when the sea blazed, kingdoms clashed, and the world's maps were redrawn, in an epic historical tale charged with glory and betrayal, faith and loss.
