Author: Djelloul Marbrook
Year: 2014
Genre: Novel
Synopsis: This novel echoes The Odyssey, in which it reflects years of research into Arab seafaring, mathematics, marine archaeology, alchemy, the Pearl Route, the Mughal Court, the Persian Gulf, and the Omani-Portuguese sea wars for control of the Indian Ocean. The protagonist follows their natures rather than the rules of society. Their nobility of soul emerges through trial and fire in improbable circumstances. |
