The Proven, Novel by Othmane Hany

The Emir of the Iberian Peninsula is dying. His son Jibril is preparing to succeed him and take on the heavy responsibility he will have to assume: governing his father's lands. Only one question is on everyone's lips: will the young prince live up to his family heritage? Will he overcome hardships such as betrayal, the loss of loved ones or even the darkness of certain people? Will he be able to place his trust in God the Most High? Helped by his family, General Azedine and Minister Ibrahim, his two brothers, Jibril will have only one solution to succeed in this life of struggle: to rely on the Noble Koran and prophetic wisdom in order to glimpse the light at the end of this long tunnel that is life.

The Proven is a novel that immerses us in the sumptuous and radiant Andalusia of medieval times when the Muslims still reigned there. This book has the merit of immersing us in court intrigues and understanding how power was exercised while undergoing improbable and incredible influences far from politics strictly speaking. The Proven is also and above all a beautiful lesson in humility and perseverance or how, in a certain way, to learn to face the adversity of life.
