Roshani Chokshi

    14. február 1991

    Roshani Chokshi je autorka, ktorej diela pre mladších čitateľov aj tínedžerov čerpajú z celosvetovej mytológie a folklóru. Jej texty, ktoré sa vyznačujú silným rozprávaním a bohatou obraznosťou, často skúmajú témy identity, osudu a hľadania vlastného miesta vo svete. Chokshi majstrovsky pretkáva starobylé legendy s modernými dilemami, čím vytvára príbehy, ktoré sú podmanivé a zároveň podnecujú k zamysleniu. Jej jedinečný štýl a schopnosť vtiahnuť čitateľov do magickych svetov z nej robia nezameniteľnú autorku súčasnej literatúry.

      Dvanásťročná Aru má vo zvyku trošičku si prikrášľovať pravdu. Veď čo jej zostáva, ak chce medzi nimi obstáť? V skutočnosti žije v malom byte v budove Múzea starého indického umenia a kultúry, kde jej mama pracuje ako kurátorka. Aru pozná všetky exponáty ako vlastné topánky, až na záhadnú a „prekliatu“ lampu, ktorú má prísne zakázané rozsvecovať. Lenže keď má príležitosť blysnúť sa pred spolužiakmi... Kto mohol tušiť, aké nepredstaviteľné a strašné veci sa začnú diať?
