La princesa Jahanara rememora la extraordinaria historia de amor de sus padres, la hermosa Mumtaz Mahal y el emperador Shah Jahan, quien, tras la muerte de su esposa, para honrar su memoria, ordena la construcción del más hermoso mausoleo: el Taj Mahal. Jahanara no tendrá más remedio que tomar las riendas del gobierno para acabar con las intrigas que se despiertan en el reino ante la debilidad de su padre, quien, consumido por el dolor, no es capaz de atender los asuntos de Estado. John Shors must have wrote this inviting book with much love. This is a highly fictionalized story of the building the Taj Mahal in 17th century Hindustan told by Princess Jahanara. I tip my hat to the man because it did feel like a woman wrote the book because it did at times feel like a romance novel .... with a good smattering of bloody and violent scenes to keep it out of the romance section. It was the men in the story I found a little over-legendary to the point of being flat... like Jahanara's evil brother and uncouth husband. Nizam and especially Ladli were wonderful (the author seemed to have a lot of fun with the snarky Ladli). At the end of the book, the author offered to personally speak to any book club who read his book. I wondered if anyone took him off on his offer? ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
In 1632, the Emperor of Hindustan, consumed by grief over the death of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, ordered the building of a grand mausoleum to symbolize the greatness of their love. Against scenes of unimaginable wealth and power, there were murderous sibling rivalries and cruel despotism. In Beneath a Marble Sky, Princess Jahanara tells the story of how the Taj Mahal came to be, and describes her own life as an agent in its creation and as a witness to the fateful events surrounding its completion. As a princess and a mother, a sister and a daughter, Jaharana faces impossible choices and discovers the real meaning of her regal birthright. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
