Hay ciudades donde las piedras encierran la historia del mundo entero. Juntando polvo, madera, metal y piedras preciosas, el maestro Sinan había construido los palacios más hermosos de Estambul para celebrar la gloria de los sultanes y encubrir sus delitos.
A su servicio trabajaban los mejores técnicos y artesanos, y Jahan era su hombre de confianza. Había llegado de la India con solo doce años, a principios del siglo XVI, y llevaba consigo a Xota, un elefante blanco que encandiló a la corte y enamoró a Mirihmah, la hija del sultán. Cuando se conocieron, Jahan era un simple aprendiz y ella la heredera de un gran imperio; sus manos nunca se cruzaron, pero la complicidad entre los dos creó un mundo aparte, donde el deseo era un aroma que llenaba el aire.
Los consejos del viejo Sinan y el rostro de la joven mujer siguieron a Jahan a lo largo de los años, mientras iba dirigiendo la construcción de las grandes mezquitas de la ciudad, pero el tiempo no perdona. Ahora, poco antes de morir, el hombre cuenta por fin su historia y revela los secretos que aprendió de su maestro, unas palabras que nos llevarán al centro del universo, ese lugar donde todo es posible, incluso la felicidad.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A colorful, magical tale set during the height of the Ottoman Empire, from the acclaimed author of The Island of Missing Trees (a Reese's Book Club Pick)
Chosen for Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall's "Reading Room" Book Club
In this novel, Turkey's preeminent female writer spins an epic tale spanning nearly a century in the life of the Ottoman Empire. In 1540, twelve-year-old Jahan arrives in Istanbul. As an animal tamer in the sultan's menagerie, he looks after the exceptionally smart elephant Chota and befriends (and falls for) the sultan's beautiful daughter, Princess Mihrimah. A palace education leads Jahan to Mimar Sinan, the empire's chief architect, who takes Jahan under his wing as they construct (with Chota's help) some of the most magnificent buildings in history. Yet even as they build Sinan's triumphant masterpieces--the incredible Suleymaniye and Selimiye mosques--dangerous undercurrents begin to emerge, with jealousy erupting among Sinan's four apprentices.
A memorable story of artistic freedom, creativity, and the clash between science and fundamentalism, Shafak's intricate novel brims with vibrant characters, intriguing adventure, and the lavish backdrop of the Ottoman court, where love and loyalty are no match for raw power.
