Under his direction, the Great Library of Cordoba came to possess nearly two hundred thousand books and became a beacon of culture that attracted scholars and intellectuals from all over the known world, both West and East. However, everything changed when the caliphal power fell into the hands of Almanzor. On a sad and regrettable night, the library's books were burned in a huge pyre in the square. Those responsible for the Great Library were hunted down and condemned, forcing Khalid ben Idris to flee for his life. Antonio Torremocha unveils in The Librarian of Medina Azahara the fascinating life of a man who dedicated his life to protecting and preserving knowledge in an ever-changing world.
