Tufail depicts the (maybe) imaginary location of his novel as where trees fruit women!Born in 1105 in Guadix of Granada and died in 1185 in Morocco, Tufail Andalusi is reckoned as a polymath: philosopher, theologian, physician, astronomer, vizier, and court official. His writings did not survive save for Hayy Ibn Yaqzan. Hayy Ibn Yaqzan is deemed the first philosophical novel. The story goes on in an Indian island where human being can born directly from nature with no parents. There are also some trees there that fruit women! This fiction goes on until today. That's what people say about an island in Thailand: some sacred tree called Nariphon bears fruits shaped like a young woman!
