«El médico de Córdoba» is the historical novel by Herbert Le Porrier, published by Debolsillo in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
The novel recreates the life of Maimonides through the sage's own memories: twelfth-century Córdoba, caliphal capital of al-Andalus, where Arab, Christian and Jewish cultures coexist, and his family's flight after the Almohad invasion, which leads him into exile across the Mediterranean while his fame as physician, philosopher and theologian grows.
It belongs to the Best Seller collection and is a translation by Jesús Alegría; the original work, Le Médecin de Cordoue, was published in 1974.
For readers of historical fiction and biographies of great medieval thinkers, such as Maimonides.
