Pod mramornim nebom: roman o Taj Mahalu

Pod mramornim nebom: roman o Taj Mahalu

John Shors

Godina je 1632. i hindustanski car Shah Jahan, skrhan boli zbog smrti svoje carice Mumtaz Mahal, naređuje izgradnju veličanstvenog mauzoleja koji će postati simbol njihove velike ljubavi.

Nezamislivo bogatstvo i moć, ali i ubojito nadmetanje među braćom i okrutni despotizam čine okvir iznimnoj priči o nastanku Taj Mahala o kojemu pripovijeda carevna Jahanara, opisujući vlastiti život pomoćnice u njegovoj izgradnji i svjedokinje sudbinskih događaja koji su okruživali njegovo dovršenje.

Kako bi pobjegla od nasilnog muža i ugovorenog braka, Jahanara mora postati posrednica između dvora i Ise, arhitekta zaduženog za Taj Mahal. Uskoro se nađe u procijepu između dužnosti prema majčinoj uspomeni, krutim pravilima koja se nameću ženama i nove, premda zabranjene, ljubavi. S iznimnom hrabrošću, Jahanara se usuđuje suprotstaviti licemjerju i sljepilu dvora u pokušaju da poštedi zemlju građanskog rata i spasi oca od njegova ratobornog sina Aurangzeba, čovjeka čija će mržnja ugasiti prosvjetiteljske napore muslimana u mogulskom carstvu.
