More Details
Three momentous events in the history of Spain took place in 1492: Columbus' discovery of America, the fall of the last Moorish bastion in Granada, and the expulsion of the Jews.
THE ALHAMBRA DECREE is a well-researched novel that vividly reconstructs the forces and the events surrounding the Edict of Expulsion declared by Ferdinand and Isabella, and that graphically relates the misfortunes and calamities that befell the dispersed Jewish exiles. Focusing upon the Jewish community of Segovia, the book describes the mass uprooting and dispersion of Spanish Jewry. Based upon original medieval Hebrew and Spanish documents, many of them eye-witness accounts, the horrifying tale of the expulsion is told as never before.
