Summary
In an Indian kingdom long ago, a young prince loses the wife he loves above everything, and resolves to build her a tomb more beautiful than any building on earth: the Pearl of Love.
He gathers the finest architects and craftsmen and works at it for years. Every stone is considered, every proportion weighed. As his taste grows finer the design grows purer, and piece by piece he removes whatever does not serve the whole. In the end only one thing remains that spoils the perfection of what he has made, and he gives the order to have it taken out.
The Pearl of Love is one of H.G. Wells’s shortest and most perfect pieces: a parable, told in the manner of an old eastern legend, about devotion, art and what happens when the work outgrows the reason for it.
Listen to the complete, unabridged audiobook of this classic tale.
