Today I continued reading the novel Leo Africanus (1986) by Lebanese-French author Amin Maalouf. I made an audio recording of the English translation of the most powerful excerpts I’ve read so far, the first part of a chapter titled “The Year of the Fall (897 A.H. / 4 November 1491 - 22 October 1492)”. You can find the audio recording at the bottom of this post. The recording is about 28 minutes long.
