Description
In a world where power is as changeable as rumor, emperors and empresses, storytellers and thieves collide in a dazzling tapestry of court intrigue and imaginative invention. Blending mythic atmosphere with sly realism, the narrative follows shifting lives and hidden motives as tales multiply—until even the most unexpected subject becomes a lens for understanding desire, authority, and survival. With the wit and lyrical precision for which Angélica Gorodischer is celebrated, the book treats storytelling itself as a kind of empire: built, contested, and passed hand to hand. Themes of history’s unreliability, the politics of narration, and the strange intimacy between knowledge and obsession drive this genre-bending work from first page to last.
