Beschrijving

Sixteenth-century Istanbul: a stowaway arrives in the city bearing an extraordinary gift for the Sultan. The boy is utterly alone in a foreign land, with no worldly possessions to his name except Chota, a rare white elephant destined for the palace menagerie.

So begins an epic adventure that will see young Jahan rise from lowly origins to the highest ranks of the Sultan's court. Along the way he will meet deceitful courtiers and false friends, gypsies, animal tamers, and the beautiful, mischievous Princess Mihrimah. He will journey on Chota's back to the furthest corners of the Sultan's kingdom and back again. And one day he will catch the eye of the royal architect, Sinan, a chance encounter destined to change Jahan's fortunes forever.

Een werkelijk magisch boek. Geweldig om te lezen. De Nederlandse vertaling - De Stad aan de rand van de Hemel - is vrijwel niet te verkrijgen maar ik verkies zeker dit Engelse origineel.
Dit is de gebonden uitgave !. Gelezen met kleine gebruikssporen aan de omslag maar verder in prima staat.
