Description
Twelve-year-old Ran the Dragon lived with his twin sister, Lucine, in Venice, where they attended the Dandolo College, one of the most prestigious schools in Europe. Unlike his sister, Ran was fascinated by historical mysteries. One day, he stumbled upon the diary of the explorer Marco Polo, which led him to the mysterious tower called the “Whispering Pillar” to search for hidden treasures. There, he found a papyrus scroll depicting a pyramid and inscribed with ancient Greek. That same day, the school principal informed the brothers that their explorer parents were missing in the Rub’ al-Khali desert, and that Ran and Lucine should go to Istanbul to stay with a relative they had never heard of, Captain Parnekas. “The Land of the Blind” is an adventure that begins in Venice and reaches the Pera Palace, leading the two siblings, Ran and Lucien, to one of the greatest mysteries with deep historical roots. It is the first book in the wonderful series “The Pera Diaries” by the writer Dalal Arya, which reconstructs history through mysterious stories revolving around the city of Istanbul, a crossroads of ancient cultures.
