Produktinformationen zu „Journey to the City of Six Gates (ePub)“

Princess Mati awakens from a troubled sleep to find that her life has changed overnight: enemies have invaded the Land of Gold and abducted her parents, the King and Queen. Fourteen-year-old Mati and her twelve-year-old brother, Satya, are secretly spirited away by the loyal Jaya Prabhasa, the most accomplished warrior in the land. As they journey through a world they have never known in their sheltered existence, and are put to the test by an eccentric flying sage, Mati and Satya acquire extraordinary skills to survive mysterious forests and perilous swamps. But are these sufficient to help the three companions evade marauding armies and rescue their parents?

This adventure fantasy set in ancient India, long before the region acquired the name, is written in the engaging style of a historical thriller. Its heroes must discover how to deal with injustice without descending to the level of their violent persecutors. Through contemplative poetic incantation and robust, uncluttered prose, it also weaves into its fabric issues such as the status of women and care for the forests.

Reading Corner Book Review points granted 5 out of 5.

Autoren-Porträt von Graeme Macqueen

Graeme MacQueen was born and raised in Canada. He was trained as an expert in Indian religion and in the mid-1990s, when Griffin Ondaatje decided to bring out a book of stories from ancient India re-told by contemporary authors, he asked MacQueen to contribute. So he contributed four stories to The Monkey King & Other Stories, which was published in 1995 by HarperCollins.

In the year 2000, Orient Longman chose one of MacQueen's stories for its GulMohar English reader. This made the story, "Brighter Still," available to 100,000 young people each year in India. (He was asked again in 2014 if the story could be included in Orient BlackSwan's 8th edition of the GulMohar reader.)

MacQueen also worked with several Afghan organizations in a peace-making project. Two of MacQueen's original stories were published in Afghanistan, and translated into Dari and Pashto, by UNICEF.

MacQueen was then asked to write an original book-length story for young readers. The result was Journey to the City of Six Gates.
