About This Book

La obra narra la conquista del reino nazarí de Granada por los reinos cristianos, combinando relato de campañas y asedios con descripciones detalladas del territorio, la ciudad y sus monumentos, como el alcázar y la Alhambra, y de la vega fértil que la rodea. Expone las condiciones políticas y tributarias que regían la relación con Castilla, las prácticas civiles y militares de ambos bandos, y reconstruye episodios extraídos de crónicas antiguas. El texto alterna pasajes bélicos y diplomáticos con evocaciones del paisaje, la organización urbana y la vida económica y cultural de la población antes y durante la caída del poder musulmán en la península.
