A pioneering avant-garde thinker and pioneer of social sciences, 'Abd al-Rahmân ibn Khaldûn (1332-1406) occupies a distinguished place among the intellectual monuments of humanity: considered one of the founding fathers of modern sociology, economics and historiography, the Tunisian of Andalusian origin is notably famous for his Muqaddimah, one of the most captivating fruits of the human spirit. It is less well known that the accomplished scholar was also a formidable statesman: in this biography, the author thus revisits the life of Ibn Khaldûn, the turbulent political context of the Maghreb and al-Andalus in his time and the events with which he was associated, from his youth in Tunis to his meeting with Timur under the walls of Damascus, including his comings and goings between the courts of Fez, Granada, Tlemcen or Béjaïa, his exile in Egypt and his activities as a teacher and Maliki judge in Cairo.
