Lalla Rookh is an Oriental romance novel written by Thomas Moore. The book is set in the exotic lands of Persia, and follows the story of a young princess named Lalla Rookh, who is betrothed to a prince she has never met. The novel is divided into four parts, each of which tells a different story. The first part tells the story of Lalla Rookh's journey to meet her future husband, and the adventures she has along the way. The second part tells the story of a young poet who falls in love with Lalla Rookh, but is unable to win her heart. The third part tells the story of a young man who is falsely accused of a crime and must flee for his life. The final part tells the story of Lalla Rookh's wedding, and the surprising twist that brings the novel to a close. Throughout the novel, Moore weaves together themes of love, betrayal, and the clash of cultures, creating a rich and immersive world that will captivate readers of all ages.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.
