Antonio Medina (Córdoba, 1952) is licensed in Theology, Philosophy and Sciences of the education and is a deep connoisseur of the arabigo-andalusí culture.In this book he investigates the stamp left by the Moorish culture in the life of Cervantes, so much in his childhood in Córdoba wherefrom his progenitors were, as later in Algiers.
The knowledge of this culture and the connection to it by the author of El Quijote leads to assign the authorship of this work to Cide Hamete Benengeli, a supposed Arabic historian, alter ego that allows him to avoid the inquisitorial censorship and connection of his work to the Islamic culture. This stratagem will justify before society the great influence with which literary genres appear, ways of understanding life and histories related to the Moslem world.Part of the singularity of El Quijote owes itself to the muslim keys that nourish it and that till now, scarcely had been outlined. Cervantes shows an extraordinary domain of the cultural and vital sources of the Arabic world that remained in the peninsula in the moorish society, expelled, certainly in the period that happens among the publication of the first and second volume of El Quijote.This book gathers a biographical update and simultaneously a literary and philosophical portrait of Cervantes seen from the perspective of his relation with the moorish culture.Antonio Medina (Córdoba, 1952) is licensed in Theology, Philosophy and Sciences of the education and is a deep connoisseur of the árabigo-andalusí culture.
