    Treasures of France and Spain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 68min
    The history of Spain took many turns between the sixth and 15th centuries. The Visigoths of Germanic origin first claimed Spain, and they remained unchallenged for at least three centuries. The Moors, an Arabic people from northern Africa, eventually conquered Spain. They decreed capitulation under the Rule of God. At this point in time, Spain was changed forever, and to this day you can see the influence of the Moorish occupation in the ancient cathedrals, mosques, churches, and buildings that are still standing in modern Spain. In the 15th century, Spain was eventually reconquered by the Christians, and the hierarchal system was restored. The influx of French nobility and French monks significantly influenced the architectural style. This introduced a Romanesque aspect to buildings and edifices. It was then shaped once more at the start of the Inquisition when many religious inhabitants, that were not of the Christian faith, had to be exiled from Spain or forced to convert to Christianity. This really set back the Moorish influence in Spanish architecture. One type of architectural work that sets Spain apart is the ironwork after the 16th century. The wrought ironwork in particular, starting from the 16th century, is stunning, and its craft is the combination of Moorish and Christian influence. The Romanesque style which was later introduced includes rich iron ornamentations and decorations. This gave rise to famous architects of the Mudejar and Romanesque styles such as Antoni Gaudi. The abundant use of iron in Spain later spread throughout Europe, and shortly thereafter into much of the other parts of the world. Spain is still considered today as one of the architectural and artistic capitals of the world. Today, Spain is a country that still boasts many of the magnificent ancient cathedrals, churches, and mosques that were unique to that part of the world. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Moors in Spain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 380min
    First published in 1866, The Moors in Spain is a classic in Middle Eastern history and has been an important work in this category for over a century. For a number of years, there were few works of history that covered non-Christian civilizations, especially those written in English. Thanks to Stanley Lane-Poole’s dedication to the study of Egypt and Middle Eastern histories, there are several classic examples of those that can be studied.One of the most profound setbacks to modern civilization was the decline of the Moorish Empire. Africa and the Middle East is where civilization truly began. If this African civilization had succeeded, the world would be far more advanced than it is today. Poole’s history of the Moorish Empire is the story of their magnificence, as well as the empire’s tragic downfall. This book is a must for any serious student of African history and the classics.Stanley Lane-Poole spent his life chronicling the history of Egypt and the Middle East. He was also the author of several biographies that cover the lives of well-known historical figures. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Cunningham.

    In 13th-century Moorish Spain, the realm of Granada is in crisis. The union of Fatima, granddaughter of the Sultan of Granada, with the Sultan's nephew Faraj has fractured the nation. A bitter civil war escalates and endangers both Fatima and Faraj's lives. All her life, Fatima has sheltered in lavish palaces where danger has never intruded, until now. A precocious child and the unwitting pawn of her family, she soon learns how her marriage may determine her future and the fate of Granada. Her husband Faraj has his own qualms about their union. At a young age, he witnessed the deaths of his parents and discovered how affluence and power offers little protection against indomitable enemies. Guilt and fears plague him. Determined to carve his own destiny, Faraj struggles to regain his lost inheritance and avenge his murdered family. Throughout the rugged frontiers of southern Spain, the burgeoning Christian kingdoms in the north and the desert states of North Africa, Fatima and Faraj survive ruthless murderers and intrigues. They unite against common enemies bent on destroying the last Moorish dynasty. While Fatima and Faraj establish a powerful bond, the atmosphere of deceit creates opportunities for mistrust and tests their love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Maureen Boutilier.
