Synopsis "Maimónides (in Spanish)"

Moses ben Maimon. o Maimónides (1138-1204). nació en Córdoba. de donde tuvo que huir a los trece años por culpa de la persecución durante la época almohade a todas las personas que no profesaran la fe islámica. Después de un largo exilio. su familia pasó una década en la península ibérica antes de instalarse en Marruecos. Desde allí. Maimónides viajaría a Palestina y Egipto. donde moriría en la corte de Saladino. Estudioso de las leyes judías. médico y filósofo. Maimónides es un personaje bastante singular. Su trabajo extrayendo de la Torá y el Talmud los principales preceptos de las leyes judías. interpretándolos y comentándolos. sentó las bases para traducir la palabra de Dios y hacerla más accesible a todo tipo de audiencias. Como médico. por otra parte. su fama fue inmensa. y se guiaba casi por completo por la razón y la observación cuando atendía tanto al propio sultán como a todos aquellos que se le acercaban en busca de diagnóstico. En esta biografía. Alberto Manguel analiza el alcance universal de la figura de Maimónides. celebrado tanto por judíos. como por cristianos y musulmanes. Hoy en día. cuando la necesidad de racionalidad y de búsqueda de la verdad es más vital que nunca. Maimónides puede ayudarnos a encontrar estrategias para sobrevivir con dignidad en un mundo incierto.

Alberto Manguel is a writer, editor, translator, and essayist of Argentine-Canadian descent, born in Buenos Aires on March 13, 1948. Internationally recognized for his profound reflection on reading, books, and libraries, Manguel has dedicated much of his work to exploring the connection between human beings and the written word.

During his youth, he briefly worked as a reader for Jorge Luis Borges, an experience that deeply marked his life and his view of the act of reading. In the 1980s, he moved to Canada, where he became a citizen and developed much of his career as an author. He also lived in other countries, such as France and Germany, and has worked in various roles related to the publishing, academic, and library worlds.

Among his most famous books are A History of Reading (1996), The Library at Night (2006), and The Traveler with the Light Luggage (2011). His work blends personal memory, cultural history, and literary criticism, with a scholarly yet accessible style.

He was the director of the National Library of Argentina from 2016 to 2018. Considered a great contemporary humanist, Manguel continues to be an influential figure in thinking about written culture and reading as a form of knowledge and freedom.
