La paura non e reale, e solo nella tua mente. I nostri pensieri danno forma a cio che noi supponiamo sia la realtaUn piccolo e paradisiaco paese, il Regno Proibito, incastonato tra le montagne dellHimalaya, che vive in un pacifico e millenario isolamento; un monaco buddista che si sta occupando della formazione spirituale del giovane erede al trono; la preziosa statua del Drago doro in grado di predire il futuro in una lingua sconosciuta. E poi, ancora, tanti impressionanti personaggi, popoli e sette sanguinarie: il Collezionista, che nutre la follia di diventare luomo piu ricco del mondo; lo Specialista, capo di una potente organizzazione criminale, scaltro e senza scrupoli; gli spietati Guerrieri blu, la Setta dello Scorpione, gli yeti. Questi sono gli ingredienti della nuova avventura che vede protagonisti Nadia e Alexander, stavolta alle prese con il malefico piano di trafugare la statua dai poteri divinatori e di rapire il re del Regno Proibito, lunico che puo interpellarla. Tra i picchi innevati, verranno a conoscenza dei fondamenti della medicina orientale, delle arti marziali e del buddismo. Durante la loro pericolosa missione, che richiede astuzia e coraggio, entrano in contatto con una cultura straordinaria che arricchisce il loro innato desiderio di comprendere cio che e nuovo e diverso. Le peripezie saranno innumerevoli, ma la posta e alta: e in gioco larmonia di un popolo sapiente che incarna i valori piu nobili dellumanita.

In December 1991, Isabel Allende's daughter Paula, aged 26 fell gravely ill and sank into a coma. This book was written during the interminable hours the novelist spent in the corridors of the Madrid hospital, in her hotel room and beside Paula's bed during the summer and autumn of 1992. Faced with the loss of her child, Isabel Allende turned to storytelling, to sustain her own spirit and to convey to her daughter the will to wake up, to survive. The story she tells is that of her own life, her family history and the tragedy of her nation, Chile, in the years leading up to Pinochet's brutal military coup.
