Summary "Leila or, the Siege of Granada, Book V." by Edward Bulwer Lytton is a historical novel written during the mid-19th century. The narrative centers around the final battle for Granada, involving significant characters such as the Moorish king Boabdil and the brave warrior Muza Ben Abil Gazan. The book captures the dramatic and tumultuous conflict between fervent traditions, personal loyalties, and the broader implications of war, as the fate of an empire hangs in the balance. The opening of the book unfolds on the dawn of a great battle, with the Moorish defenders of Granada reeling from the preparations of Ferdinand's Christian army, who are advancing toward the city. King Boabdil rallies his troops with impassioned calls for bravery and loyalty, instilling in them the desperation to fight for their homes and families. As the battle commences, vivid descriptions capture the chaos of combat and individual heroism, especially highlighting Muza’s steadfast resolve during the conflict. Meanwhile, amidst the unfolding strife, the narrative hints at themes of sacrifice and the personal struggles of the characters, particularly as they grapple with issues of love, honor, and identity during a time of catastrophic change.
