About This Book:

House of Abbas The Legacy of Harun Rashid By Ali Telmesani Set in Baghdad's 9th century Caliphal court, amid the same great halls previously governed by the famed Abbasid Caliph Harun al-Rashid, his son, al-Amin, is now the reigning head of history's most prominent and affluent Islamic empire. The Islamic Golden Age blossomed during Harun al-Rashid's reign, representing an age of unmatched scientific, theological, and creative achievements. However, al-Amin is tasked with sustaining his father's huge kingdom, and his reckless behavior jeopardizes the history of this once-great family.

His smart and educated half-brother, al-Ma'mun, observes with anxiety as the House of Abbas declines under the irresponsible new Caliph. Their once-close sibling tie may soon fray, jeopardizing Harun al-Rashid's long legacy and jeopardizing the unity of a once-magnificent kingdom from within. "House of Abbas" is a pentameter poetry drama that boldly portrays the essence of a true Shakespearean tragedy.
