A szultána árnyéka és egyéb elbeszélések by Gyula Pekár
"A szultána árnyéka és egyéb elbeszélések" by Gyula Pekár is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. The opening tale, "A szultána árnyéka", transports readers to a fantastical world set in an exotic, historical backdrop where the emotional turmoil of love plays a critical role. The narrative centers around the poignant story of Sultan Abderrahman, who grapples with his unrequited love for the beautiful Azzahra, as well as thebudding affection between her and the imprisoned poet Ibn-Zaffir. The opening of "A szultána árnyéka" introduces us to the Sultan and his anguish over the coldness of his beloved Azzahra, who resides in his opulent, paradise-like domain of Medina-Azzahara. Despite the grandeur of his possessions, he feels like the poorest beggar, tormented by jealousy and sorrow. As he tries to find solace, invited to lighten the Sultan's gloomy disposition is the poet Ibn-Zaffir, who unexpectedly declares his feelings for the Sultan's beloved during a performance. This moment captivates the narrative’s underlying themes of love, longing, and tragic fate, setting in motion the intricate entwining of their destinies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
