Ibn Sina, the Persian scholar of the tenth and eleventh century physician and philosopher embrace it all the days of science, without losing interest in arts and letters.
An extraordinary destiny for this exceptional character, whose name is to this day synonymous genius.
The story told by Gilbert Sinoué is exciting, captivating, full of surprises; transcribed in a still exemplary style, which seems to be the ordinary of the author.
How not to fall in love with these wonderful characters staged for our enjoyment? How not to be charmed by the magic of the Orient so well portrayed?
I had the opportunity to meet the character of Ibn Sina in other historical novels, but I admit that it is in this one that seemed the most realistic, and has took the depth and breadth that suits him best.
One of my best readings of this start of 2006.
A book to devour, to entertainment and education.
