Pod mramornim nebom: roman o Taj Mahalu
The year is 1632 and the Hindustan emperor Shah Jahan, devastated by the death of his empress Mumtaz Mahal, orders the construction of a magnificent mausoleum that will become a symbol of their great love.
Unimaginable wealth and power, but also murderous competition between brothers and cruel despotism form the framework for the extraordinary story of the creation of the Taj Mahal, which is told by the empress Jahanara, describing her own life as an assistant in its construction and a witness to the fateful events that surrounded its completion.
In order to escape her abusive husband and arranged marriage, Jahanara must become an intermediary between the court and Isa, the architect in charge of the Taj Mahal. Soon she finds herself torn between her duty to her mother's memory, the rigid rules imposed on women, and a new, albeit forbidden, love. With extraordinary courage, Jahanara dares to confront the hypocrisy and blindness of the court in an attempt to spare the country from civil war and save her father from his warlike son Aurangzeb, a man whose hatred will extinguish the Muslim enlightenment efforts in the Mughal Empire.
