from Granada Gerald Brenan, Chris Fortunato (Editor) Comment: This is a book by Gerald Brenan. He was an English writer who came to Granada just after the first world war. He lived in Yegen in the Alpujarras mountains. His books contain very interesting descriptions about Granada and the Alpujarras in this epoch. For anyone who likes Granada this book is highly recommended. Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and Granada (City Breaks Series) Reg Butler Lorca's Granada Synopsis This book aims to provide the reader with a guide to Granada. Divided into ten routes, it takes the visitor, step-by-step, from the poet Federico Garcia Lorca's birthplace in the village of Fuente Vaqueros to the site of his assassination, at the beginning of the Civil War, in the foothills outside the city. The author investigates the associations Granada held for Lorca, who was one of Spain's most celebrated poets. Areas such as the Alhambra and the old Moorish quarter of the Albaicin, the Royal Chapel in the cathedral where Ferdinand and Isabella lie buried, and the high mountains south of Granada with their view across the Mediterranean to Africa. This book should prove of interest to any visitor of this region of Andalusia, or anyone interested in Spanish literature. Ian Gibson is the author of "The Assassination of Lorca". Leo the African Amin Maalouf Comment: The first 75 pages contain a fictionalised account, based on fact, set at the time when the Arabs were expelled from Granada in 1492. Rather than reading a history book it gives a good picture of what actually happened seen through the eyes of the central character. The main character's father works at the Alhambra in control of the public weighing scales so we get an insight into the court of Boabdil (the last Arabic ruler of Granada) There is a realistic account of the taking of Granada. After the first 75 pages the story continues in Fez after the family have decided to leave Spain. Driving over lemons Comment: An ex-pat who moved to La Alpujarra in the 80's telling his (mis)adventures. This book was a great success in Britain; if you live here yourself, some of the descriptions seem somewhat exaggerated. Review Penelope Lively. Daily Telegraph. 26th June 1999. "I warmed to him. A man who buys a shack on the wrong side of a river on a barren mountainside in Andalucia, persuades his wife to take part in this folly and then sets up shop as the local sheep-shearer has to be respected. In Driving Over Lemons, the anecdote flourishes once more. . . Stewart's briskly robust style and lack of pretension keep the book rolling along.

Rosenthal The Alhambra (Special Order) The Alhambra Oleg Grabar The Art of War in Spain : The Conquest of Granada 1481-1492 William H. Prescott, Albert D. McJoynt (Special Order) "A classic work on one of history's key military campaigns. One of the military campaigns that changed world history has been rescued from near oblivion by Albert D. McJoynt, editor of this classic work. The fall of Moorish Granada to Spain's Catholic rulers, Ferdinand and Isabella, was a turning point in establishing the boundaries between Christendom and Islam in the West, boundaries which had been in conflict for nearly a millennium. It also allowed the royal couple to launch Columbus' voyage with its well-known impact on the course of human events."
