Description:
The magnificent nile story of this collection of fairy tales for grown-ups describes the strange and uncanny relationship between its extravagantly intelligent heroine -- a world-renowned scholar of the art of storytelling -- and the marvelous being that lives in a mysterious bottle found in an Istanbul bazaar. As A. S. Byatt, the bestselling author of Possesion, renders this relationship with a powerful combination of erudition and passion, she makes the interaction of the natural and the supernatural seem not only convincing but inevitable.
Expand description
The companion stories in The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye range from fables of sexual obsession to allegories of political tragedy. They draw us into narratives that are mesmerizing as dreams and as bracing as philosophical meditations; and they allow us to inhabit an imaginative universe astonishing in the precision of its detail, its intellectual consistency, and its splendor.
