Description

“A Sultan in Palermo” is a historical novel by Tariq Ali that takes place in 12th-century Sicily during the reign of King Roger II. The novel follows the story of a young Muslim man named Muhammad ibn Abdullah who, after his family is killed during the Norman invasion of North Africa, flees to Sicily to seek refuge.

In Sicily, Muhammad becomes a trusted advisor to King Roger II, who rules over a diverse population of Muslims, Christians, and Jews. Muhammad is eventually appointed as the Sultan of Palermo, a position that brings him both power and danger.

As Sultan, Muhammad faces numerous challenges, including political intrigue, religious tensions, and threats from outside forces. He also falls in love with a Christian woman named Maria, which puts him at odds with his own faith and the society in which he lives.

The novel explores themes of identity, power, and love, while also providing a vivid portrayal of medieval Sicily and the cultural interactions that took place during that time period. Through Muhammad’s story, Ali offers a nuanced perspective on the complexities of coexistence between different religious and cultural groups, as well as the ways in which personal relationships can transcend societal barriers.

Overall, “A Sultan in Palermo” is a captivating and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique window into a fascinating period of history.
