Mahoma: Una Historia Del Ultimo Profeta (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Well, it was interesting. The first third was interesting, about Muhammad growing up an orphan and snippets of his life and personality viewed through third parties. The second third was also interesting, with Muhammad being exposed to the intrigues of his time and eventually seeing the angel of prophecy. The third part was rather daunting, having to read about Muhammad's struggles with hostility and persecution and fighting his way. The last story about putting a group of Jews to death and reducing the families to slavery just turned my stomach.I liked learning about the historical presence of the Kaaba and the Zamzam well in Mecca. But I was disturbed by the strife and intrigue among the arab tribes: it seems to me that very little has changed in centuries. Still so much hostility and affinity for intrigue and strife.Sigh! Muhammad, a story of the Last Prophet...I have an interest in Islam, in this faith as a part of history and our lives today. I also recall reading some other book by Deepak Chopra, recalling I enjoyed the way he wrote. I was pleased with this telling of what might have been a meeting, friendship, with Mohammad. Finding, my belief enriched by the reading. Understanding, the personality of this man, to be Prophet. Many faiths, many beliefs, blend into One. Or is it from One.
What do You think about Mahoma: Una Historia Del Ultimo Profeta (2011)?
Excellent historical fiction! Chopra has done a very good job bringing Muhammad's story to life.
