«Les Croisades vues par les Arabes» is the historical essay by Amin Maalouf, published by J'ai lu in paperback (318 pages, in French).
Maalouf narrates the Crusades from the Arab point of view, following the «frany» from their arrival in the Near East to two centuries of presence in the Holy Land. The book interweaves conquests, battles and shifting alliances with the internal divisions of Islam, and shows how the invasion was etched into the memory of the Muslim world.
This edition carries the subtitle «La barbarie franque en Terre sainte». «Les Croisades vues par les Arabes» was originally published in 1983; the J'ai lu edition is from 1999.
For readers interested in medieval history, the Crusades and the Near East who seek a different view from the traditional Western narrative.
Amin Maalouf is a Lebanese French author who has lived in France since 1976. His native language is Arabic, and he writes in French. His works have been translated into over 40 languages.
