Rodriguez (Amazon) : https://www.amazon.fr/review/R2CRWDNXVQC72Z/ Romanticised, but very enjoyable read. Shows Muhammad as prophet earlier and life, and as political figure later in life, when Jibreel's revelations concerned Muhammad's household and politics more than really spiritual life. I liked the book, it is not a dry recitation of facts and battles and dates, but tries to be more of a biography, to bring the historical figure to life in the reader's mind. This book is great and I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about Muhammad or the beginnings of Islam. It's very thorough, detailed, and concise. The best thing about it is that as a biography, even though is it in chronological order, it starts telling the tale of Muhammad from -before- his birth. This fact alone gives a lot of insight and helps establish the setting of the time period that he was born into. Martin Lings as well is very talented. His eloquent way of writing this biography made this book actually fun to read, whereas many people (like myself) find that biographies get very long, boring, and difficult to read. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
