Book Description

A symbol of the fabled Orient, Harun al-Rashid, the caliph portrayed in the thousand and one Nights, is not merely a figure of legend. He was the son of a yemenite slave who cleared his path to power, very probably by poisoning the reigning caliph, her older son. Harun reigned for a quarter-century, and was the most famous caliph of the Abbasid dynasty.

Through Arab chronicles, the author corrects our vision of Harun the Good, and gives a remarkable account of his developnent as a ruler. Though in Western countries he is remembered for the presents he sent to Chrlemagne-notably the famous elephant, Abul Abbs-he was first and foremost a successful soldier who made war on the Byzantines. His enpire was shaken by religious and social insurrections and he did not shrink from annihilating the barmakids, a powerful family whose wealth and influence he finally found unbearable.

As a patron of poets and intellectuals, Harun contributed greatly to the cultural supremacy of baghdad, whose merchants and navigators spread the name of the caliph throughout the world.
