Das Kalifat von Córdoba im Jahre 976. Unter den Herrschern al-Rahman III. und seinem Sohn al-Hakam II. erblühte das Reich im Zeichen von Frieden, Kultur und Wissenschaft. Die Hauptstadt Córdoba gilt als unangefochtene Perle des Okzidents, als al-Hakam II. jung und ohne volljährigen Nachfolger verstirbt. Der Wesir Amir nutzt die Gunst der Stunde, um die Macht im Kalifat an sich zu reißen. Unterstützt wird er von religiösen Fundamentalisten, denen die Begeisterung der verflossenen Kalifen für fremde Kulturen, für Philosophie und Mathematik, ein Dorn im Auge gewesen ist. Der Preis für ihre Unterstützung ist hoch: Die 400.000 Bücher der Bibliothek von Córdoba sollen auf dem Scheiterhaufen enden. Amir willigt ein. Am Vorabend der größten Bücherverbrennung der Welt ist der Eunuch Tarid panisch damit beschäftigt, so viele Bücher wie möglich einzusammeln und auf den Rücken eines zufällig vorbeigeschlenderten Maultiers zu werfen. Zusammen mit der dunkelhäutigen Kopistin Lubna und ihrem langfingrigen Schüler Marwan begibt er sich auf eine wagemutige Reise: Das heillos überladene Buchmaultier muss, von Berbersöldnern verfolgt, ganz Spanien durchqueren, um den unersetzlichen Wissensschatz zu retten. Diese köstliche historische Fabel aus der Feder von Wilfrid Lupano (»Die alten Knacker«) erzählt eine kraftvolle und hochaktuelle Geschichte über den Konflikt zwischen Machtgier und der Freiheit, die durch Wissen geschaffen wird.

Vivid Detailed Book
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book for my husband whose a big Assassin's Creed fan. The pages are filled with vivid images. Yes, there are spoilers in the book. It walks the reader through every aspect of the games: timelines, gear and weapons, characters, and etc. This book makes a great gift!

At least it's beautiful!
Format: Hardcover
Firstly, this book is beautiful to look at. The pages are heavy and glossy, and the artwork is all wonderful. Lots of things from the now defunct Initiates made it into the book, as well as the "conclusion" of the Desmond thread of the Modern Day plot from the comics. It's nice to lay on the coffee table for gamer friends to stare at for a few minutes. The major problem is the factual errors and editing issues. They're not obvious on first glance, but when you look a second or third time things truly stand out. Things like calling Chrétien Lafrenière one of Germain's allies on [Germain's] his profile page. I won't put all the errors I've found in my review for brevity, but for an item aimed at fans, it's disappointing to find so many of them. And these aren't small/minor details that are wrong. They're major plot points and important details of main story missions. I'm still a fan of the series and I'm happy to have the book for the art, but I would never suggest it for the content. The fan-run wiki (which is mentioned in the thanks section) is far more accurate and complete.

Beautiful book and artwork
Format: Hardcover
The book comes within a slip case so it remains undamaged, and the open spine makes it really comfortable to hold and look through. There is a lot of gorgeous artwork of characters' different armor and dye variations, and the landscape works are very moody and atmospheric. There's also a lot of storyboarding, menu mockups, and promo pieces. There is a little too much white space around the images, but at least it keeps the format consistent.

Beautiful Book with Surprising Extra Details
Format: Hardcover
If you, or someone you know, is a fan of this game there will be no disappointment in this purchase. I bought 3 different 'Game Art' books for 3 of my nephews this Christmas and this one far surpassed the others in detail and overall unboxing experience. The extra sleeve of the book along with the Japanese style spine binding are just some of the details that set this one apart. You can tell that a lot of the creative passion from the game was translated to this book's aesthetic. This is brand awareness done right! Note: The other 2 books were for 'Apex Legends & Last of Us 2' and they were great as well, but this one stood out and they were essentially all the same price.
