Review: One of the interesting and informative books I have read about historical and religious developments in the 7th century which continue to impact us now. Do you want more insight into the failures of the Islamic and Christian cultures to understand each other? Read this book!
Review: C'est après la chute de l'empire romain d'orient, et celle de l'Iran, qui permit aux arabes, coincé entre deux empires pour sortir de leur péninsule, et envahir l'Afrique du nord et l'Iran. C'est une lecture roborative du Coran, dont l'auteur constate l'importance, au contraire des hadiths dont il conteste l'historicité, se demandant même quelle existence a eu le prophète et la Mecque dont le livre parle si peu.

*by F***S on 30 July 2025*

Een zoveelste meesterwerk van de briljante Engelse historicus en schrijver Tom Holland, uitstekend gedocumenteerd zowel met voetnoten als illustraties. Inhoudelijk een echte 'eye' opener.
