Articoli correlati a A Princess of Roumania
In an alternate 18th-century world, America teems with blond savages while "Roumania" and Germany battle for European domination. A magic book concocted by conjuress Aegypta Schenck sends young Miranda Popescu, a descendant of ancient royalty, and Roumania's hope of freedom from dark tyranny, to Massachusetts to escape the fiendish Baroness Nicola Ceausescu and the heinous Elector of Ratisbon. With her best friend, Andromeda (turned magically into first a yellow dog and later a charismatic male Roumanian courtier), and her loyal teenage admirer, Peter, Miranda must make hard choices to start fulfilling her destiny. 'A quietly and profoundly original novel. To compare Paul Park with Philip Pullmann or John Crowley gives a hint of the kind of satisfaction his fiction provides' Ursula K. Le Guin

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Standard. Outline:- This is a truly magical tale, full of strangeness, terrors and wonders. Many girls daydream that they are really a princess adopted by commoners. In the case of teenager Miranda Popescu, this is literally true. Because she is at the fulcrum of a deadly political battle between conjurers in an alternate world where "Roumania" is a leading European power, Miranda was hidden by her aunt in our world, where she was adopted and raised in a quiet Massachusetts college town.The narrative is split between our world and the people in Roumania working to protect or to capture Miranda: her Aunt Aegypta Schenck versus the mad Baroness Ceaucescu in Bucharest, and the sinister alchemist, the Elector of Ratisbon, who holds her true mother prisoner in Germany. This is the story of how Miranda -- with her two best friends, Peter and Andromeda -- is brought back to her home reality. Each of them is changed in the process and all will have much to learn about their true identities and the strange world they find themselves in.This story is a triumph of contemporary fantasy.-> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Tor The date of this copy is 2007 booksalvation have grade it as Very Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
