Lalla Rookh is an Oriental romance novel written by the Irish poet Thomas Moore. The novel is set in the East and tells the story of a young princess named Lalla Rookh, who is traveling from Delhi to marry the king of Bukhara. Along the way, she falls in love with a poet named Feramorz, who is actually a disguised prince. The novel is divided into four parts, each of which contains poems and stories that Lalla Rookh and Feramorz share with each other. These stories are woven into the main narrative and provide a glimpse into the culture and traditions of the East. The novel is known for its vivid descriptions of the landscape, the people, and the customs of the region. It also explores themes such as love, betrayal, and the clash of cultures. Lalla Rookh was first published in 1817 and was an instant success, becoming one of the most popular works of its time. Today, it is considered a classic of English literature and a landmark in the Western understanding of the East.1820. Irish poet and friend of Lord Byron and P.B. Shelley, Moore's works range from lyric to satire, from prose romance to history and biography. Moore was also a good musician and skillful writer of songs, which he set to Irish tunes, mainly of the 18th century. Moore's bestselling epic poem, Lalla Rookh, is a kind of miniature Arabian Nights in subject matter, setting and form. The story relates the journey of the princess Lalla Rookh from Delhi to Kashmir, where she is to marry the young King of Bucharia whom she has never met. From its first appearance Lalla Rookh inspired the romantic imaginations of artists, dramatists and composers alike with its heady combination of drama, poetry, romance, pathos, fantasy, horror and exoticism.
