A lush modern fairytale in which our world has been plunged into an age of unreason, Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights is a breathtaking achievement and an enduring testament to the power of storytelling\" -- -\"Once upon a time, in a world just like ours, there came \"the time of the strangenesses.\" Reason receded and the loudest, most illiberal voices reigned. A simple gardener began to levitate, and a powerful djinn -- also known as the Princess of Fairyland -- raised an army composed entirely of her semi-magical great-great-great-grandchildren. A baby was born with the ability to see corruption in the faces of others. The ghosts of two philosophers, long dead, began arguing once more. And a battle for the kingdom of Fairyland was waged throughout our world for 1,001 nights -- or, to be more precise, for two years, eight months, and twenty-eight nights. Two Years, Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights is a masterful, playfully enchanting meditation on the power of love and the importance of rationality, replete with flying carpets and dynastic intrigue.\" Jinn -- Fiction. Magic -- Ghosts -- Fate and fatalism -- Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends \u0026amp; Mythology\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rushdie, Salman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46055578894594,"sku":"88800.0","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/4412\/1602\/files\/holder_6_71f16d06-a729-4a18-8222-ff686d46671e.jpg?v=1744073716","url":"https:\/\/bibliope.com\/products\/two-years-eight-months-and-twenty-eight-nights","provider":"Bibliope","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
