Product Description:
La figura de Mahoma (570-632), un humilde caravanero de La Meca que puso en pie una religión de alcance mundial, sigue suscitando inacabables controversias en Occidente. Karen Armstrong comienza su libro con una documentada y completa descripción del contexto histórico, político, moral y religioso en que se encontraban las tribus beduinas en la Arabia de finales del siglo VI de nuestra era. Es este ambiente, politeísta en lo religioso y desunido políticamente, Muhammad ibn Abdallah, Mahoma, vivió durante el mes de Ramadán de 610 una experiencia mística que cambió su vida y también el curso de la historia: el comienzo de las revelaciones que pronto fructificarían en el Corán (la Recitación).

The figure of Muhammad, a humble man from the Mecca who initiated a religion accessible to all, is still the subject of ongoing controversies in the Western world. Karen Armstrong narrates the beginnings of Islam – a word which means submission and peace –, and of the theological and political disputes that soon affected the lives of families living in the Mecca or Medina. Muhammad is described as a complex and passionate man, politically wise and true to what he understood to be a personal and transcendental mission. This book, which includes a prologue written after the September 11th attacks, is a defense against the prejudice directed toward a religion that is practiced by many believers worldwide.
