أسير البرتغاليين

Leaving a wife and three young ones behind in Fez to look for work, a simple man is captured and held in a Portuguese fortress on the African coast. Threatened with execution, he buys time from his jailer with stories. The novel runs on two lines, his tales and the narrator's account, set in sixteenth-century Morocco amid the struggle of Saadians, Marinids and Portuguese.
