Esta convicci?n de que sabidur?a y vida son indisociables hac?a de la filosof?a el saber terap?utico por excelencia.Este libro es una invitaci?n a conocer y cultivar esa sabidur?a.

Sicile, XI si?cle, Nadira est une jeune fille innocente d’origine berb?re, qui vit en se soumettant aux d?cisions de son fr?re; comme lorsqu’on lui annonce qu’elle devra devenir une des ?pouses de l’?mir de sa ville. Cependant, ses yeux sont tellement ?tranges et envo?tants qu’ils attirent l’attention de plus d’un pr?tendant. Bien vite la renomm?e d’une mal?diction se r?pandra : les hommes qui croiseront son regard ne pourront plus ?viter de la d?sirer et essayer de l’avoir. Les yeux de Nadira et ce ciel sans limite qu’ils rappellent, provoqueront la seconde guerre que la Sicile musulmane vivra. En attendant , les fr?res de Hauteville, de terribles guerriers normands, attendent n’importe quel pr?texte pour pouvoir traverser la mer, dans le but de commencer une croisade contre les maures. “ Quelque chose de si extraordinairement irr?sistible et maudit au point de secouer irr?m?diablement les d?sirs de celui qui le regarde, peut-il r?ellement exister ? “ Les yeux bleus atypiques de Nadira semblent prouver qu’il en est ainsi. Sicile, XI si?cle. Nous nous trouvons aux derniers actes de la domination arabe : les ?mirs des principales villes de l’?le sont en guerre entre eux et les forces chr?tiennes, attendent une excuse pour intervenir et entreprendre leur guerre sainte contre l’ennemi musulman. Nadira est une jeune fille innocente d’origine berb?re qui vit en se soumettant aux d?cisions de son fr?re ; comme lorsqu’on lui annonce qu’elle devra devenir une des ?pouses de l’?mir de sa ville.

En attendant , les fr?res de Hauteville, de terribles guerriers normands, attendent n’importe quel pr?texte pour pouvoir traverser la mer, dans le but de commencer une croisade contre les maures. Conrad se trouve dans tout cela, lui aussi normand, mais ayant grandi parmi les siciliens chr?tiens. Son ambition est sans limite et sa vengeance envers les dominateurs musulmans d?passe le bon sens. Le destin de Conrad finira par croiser ce “ciel de Nadira” et le myst?re qui se cache derri?re la nature de ces yeux l?. Cependant, il parviendra ? vaincre le danger que la beaut? de Nadira repr?sente,    uniquement s’il saura d?voiler ce qui lie le coeur d’un homme au d?sir qui le soumet au mal. La guerre est encore en pleine rage, devenue d?sormais une bataille de cultures et de religions, lorsque du terrain de la haine, commence ? na?tre la tol?rance…. une esp?rance entretenue par celui qui a su mettre de l’ordre dans les inqui?tudes de son ?me. Un environnement multiculturel, une aventure racont?e de tous les points de vue, une histoire objective et d’une saveur actuelle, un roman que les amants de fictions historiques et d’aventures ne peuvent ignorer.

Il Regnum ? un enorme mosaico variopinto in cui gente di culture, lingue e religioni diverse convive l’una accanto all’altra. Siamo intorno alla met? del XII secolo e sul trono di Sicilia siede Guglielmo il Malo. In questa storia si muovono sei protagonisti, ognuno facente parte di una delle razze che compongono l’enorme mosaico del Regno. Alessio, maestro d’arte bizantino, dal carattere remissivo e alla ricerca dell’amata figlia; Amjad, potente eunuco saraceno, votato segretamente alla causa dell’Islam; Vittore, figlio del popolo di Palermo, innamorato di una donna musulmana; Manfredo, nobile lombardo ambizioso e vendicativo; Chana, vedova di un prestadenari ebreo, alla ricerca di giustizia per l’assassinio del marito; e Roberto di Rossavilla, ago della bilancia delle controversie del Regno. In particolare quest’ultimo viene messo di fronte ad una complicata scelta: sposare la bella Rocca, figlia del dissidente Eraldo, oppure accettare l’offerta del Re, ripudiando la promessa spos Il Regnum ? un enorme mosaico variopinto in cui gente di culture, lingue e religioni diverse convive l’una accanto all’altra. ? stato il potere forte e accentrato dei sovrani normanni a rendere possibile tale creatura unica al mondo, prospera e potente. Pende tuttavia sul Regno una pericolosa legge di natura: ci? che ? bello ? spesso anche fragile… ci? che riesce ? spesso anche precario! Siamo intorno alla met? del XII secolo e sul trono di Sicilia siede Guglielmo, detto “il Malo”. Questi preferisce l’ozio e il vizio all’esercizio di governo. Emergono perci? uomini senza scrupoli intenzionati ad accrescere il proprio prestigio. Majone, Ammiraglio del Regno, punta subdolamente al trono, mentre Matteo Bonello, giovane e valoroso barone, intende sovvertire il sistema con la forza. Le tensioni sfociano in una vera e propria guerra tra razze, che mette contro i saraceni, rappresentati dai potenti eunuchi di corte, e i lombardi, interessati al potere degli eunuchi e capeggiati dalla nobilt? dissidente. Intanto approfittano di questa debolezza le potenze confinanti, il papa cos? come i musulmani d’Africa, pronti a colpire al cuore il regno pi? avanzato d’Europa. In questo contesto si muovono sei protagonisti, ognuno facente parte di una delle razze che compongono l’enorme mosaico del Regno. Alessio, maestro d’arte bizantino, dal carattere remissivo e alla ricerca dell’amata figlia; Amjad, potente eunuco saraceno, votato segretamente alla causa dell’Islam; Vittore, figlio del popolo di Palermo, innamorato di una donna musulmana; Manfredo, nobile lombardo ambizioso e vendicativo; Chana, vedova di un prestadenari ebreo, alla ricerca di giustizia per l’assassinio del marito; e Roberto di Rossavilla, ago della bilancia delle controversie del Regno. In particolare quest’ultimo viene messo di fronte ad una complicata scelta: sposare la bella Rocca, figlia del lombardo Eraldo, oppure accettare l’offerta del Re, ripudiando la promessa sposa ed infrangendo gli accordi col nobile dissidente. Roberto potrebbe lasciar decidere il cuore, ma c’? un problema: non ama Rocca! Si sviluppa cos? una storia piena di colpi di scena, in cui le vicende dei singoli influenzeranno il destino di tutti. Sar? qualcuno dei sei protagonisti a salvare il Regnum dall’odio e dall’intolleranza, o forse finalmente il Re si render? conto che il futuro del suo trono passa dalle sue mai compiute scelte? Nel frattempo, in una delle sale del Palazzo Reale, tessera dopo tessera, un abile mosaicista sta per portare a termine una delle opere pi? emblematiche del periodo normanno. Su quelle mura ? raffigurato il Paradiso, meta che accomuna tutti gli uomini di ogni razza e cultura, e immagine stessa del Regnum. Un romanzo storico di ambientazione medievale moderno come pochi. Capace di affrontare in chiave diacronica argomenti attuali come l’integralismo islamico, il suprematismo razziale e la tutela dei diritti individuali; a dimostrazione che nella storia umana non si inventa mai nulla di nuovo.
