À propos de cet audio
This work traces the life of Saladin, from his origins to his death, placing him in the vibrant context of the twelfth century. It explores his rise in Egypt, the construction of an effective sultanate, his strategic struggle with the Crusaders—especially against King Richard the Lionheart—and his way of governing: austere, legalistic, and humane. Beyond the battles, it reveals the administrator who safeguarded the price of bread, the judge who listened to the humble, and the leader who turned jihad into state policy. The conclusion addresses his death, the complex Ayyubid succession, and the immediate legacy that transformed him into a myth shared by East and West. A balanced portrait of a ruler who united sword and pen, devotion, and institutionalism.
