Secrets of the Andalusian house
Über das eBook
The story of an ancient house that is more than four centuries old. It has changed a lot through different eras, from Andalusian to Ottoman, French, and up to our present time. It was inhabited by lovers and murderers, angels and demons, nobles and lowlifes, martyrs and traitors. The Reconstruction and Modernization Authority wants to demolish it to build the Andalus Tower, in order to absorb unemployment. Its last resident, Murad Basta, refuses to demolish the house built by his Morisco grandfather, Galileo Rojo, who was expelled from Andalusia naked, except for the dream of building an Andalusian house for his beloved.
The Andalusian house is a metaphor for what happened and is happening in the Arab world of self-sabotage, the violent awakening of miserable identities, and the dilemmas of settling a modernity that remained more of a dream than a tangible reality.
