Mount Q F - Abdelillah Benarafa

The biographical novel Mount Q f is based on histories of medieval Andalus. Mu yidd n ibn Al- Arabi was a contemporary of Avempace and Averrhoes, and was a pupil of the latter. He witnessed a number of battles between Andalusian Arabs and Spanish Christian kingdoms. From early childhood, this son of an army general in Murcia studied philosophy and religions. He developed his own course of mysticism, and wrote several books in the field. The inside story about daily life in Andalus brings that historical period alive for modern readers.

A graduate of the Sorbonne, he is now a cultural advisor on various subjects of literature and the humanities.
