Mjesec u palači

Mjesec u palači

Weina Dai Randel

Majstorski ispričan, uzbudljiv i napet, ovaj istorijski i romantični roman otvoriće vrata mistične drevne Kine.

Uzbudljiva priča o ambicioznom putovanju mlade Mei, koja će postati prva kineska carica Vu, jedina žena koja je preuzela carsku titulu. Konkubina u palati brzo je shvatila da postoji mnogo načina da se privuče careva pažnja. Žene farbaju svoja lica u belo i pažljivo ređaju kosu u nadi da će njihova lepota privući Onoga iznad svega. Donose mu poklone, nakit od žada i kaligrafske svitke, verujući u njegove veštine zavođenja. Mlada Mei nije bila upućena u ženske umetnosti, ali je ona bila ta koja bi caru poklonila nešto što nikada neće zaboraviti. Car je bio zadivljen njenom inteligencijom i radoznalošću, osobinama zbog kojih se osećala izopćenom među konkubinama. A kada je Mei dobio priliku da zavede najmoćnijeg čoveka u Kini, suparničke strane su podelile palatu na dva tabora, što je izazvalo smrtonosni sukob iz kojeg je Mei jedva uspela da se izvuče živa.

Prvi deo duologije Sjajna carica Meseca slikovito opisuje drevnu Kinu u 7. veku, za vreme dinastije Tang, kada su ljubav, ambicija i odanost mogli značiti život i smrt. Mlada žena je odlučila da vrati čast porodičnom imenu. I odlučna u toj odluci, na sudu punom intriga, nije dozvolila da joj bilo ko stane na put.
