The Fall of Granada and the Lost Andalusia. In an era of freedom and tragedy, as the last bastions of Muslims in Andalusia fell, their spirits danced on the edge of the abyss. The fall of Granada marked the final chapter in the story of Muslim struggle in Andalusia, ending a centuries-long journey of sovereignty and brilliance. In Fawzi Al-Maalouf’s novel “The Fall of Granada,” a vivid depiction of the weakness and disarray that beset the Muslim nation during this painful period is presented. The author relies on historical figures, especially King Abdullah, who failed to grasp the danger encircling his kingdom, and instead, was preoccupied with an internal struggle with the valiant hero Ibn Hamed over his beloved Dureidah. The novel reveals a state of apathy and negligence among the last kings of Granada, as King Abdullah is embroiled in a personal feud with Ibn Hamed, while the Spanish threat rapidly approaches. Al-Maalouf skillfully depicts the loss that befell the Muslims too late, as they lost everything and the chance of survival slipped away. The elegant literary language used by Al-Maalouf in his narration harmonizes with the sad historical scenes, adding an incomparable artistic touch. While the novel is based on historical events, the author skillfully shapes his characters, enhancing the narrative’s strength and appeal.
