À propos de ce contenu audio

Brought to you by Penguin.

I can change the story because I am the story.


With her execution looming, a woman is fighting for her life. Every night she tells a story. Every morning, she lives one more day. One Aladdin Two Lamps cracks open the legendary story of Shahrazad in One Thousand and One Nights to reveal new questions and answers we are still thinking about today. Who should we trust? Is love the most important thing in the world? Does it matter whether you are honest? What makes us happy?

In her guise as Aladdin – the orphan who changes his world – Jeanette Winterson asks us to reread what we think we know and look again at how fiction works in our lives, giving us the courage to change our own narratives and alter endings we wish to subvert. As a young working-class woman, with no obvious future beyond factory work or marriage, Winterson realised through the power of books that she could read herself as fiction as well as fact.

Weaving together fiction, magic and memoir, this remarkable book is a tribute to the age-old tradition of storytelling and a radical step into the future – an invitation to look more closely at our own stories, and to imagine the world anew.

    Enchanting, unexpected and razor-sharp. Jeanette Winterson and Shahrazad are the perfect co-pilots to take us into new worlds on the wings of old stories (Kamila Shamsie)
    A dazzling blend of fiction, memoir, essay and magical storytelling… One Aladdin Two Lamps is a riveting look at humanity at an existential crossroads
    One Aladdin Two Lamps is a passionate hymn to the supreme values of human imagination, generosity and love
    A dizzying whirligig of memoir, history, philosophy, politics and self-help, loosely tied to commentary on the [One Thousand and One] Nights… It feels thrillingly direct
    I just devoured One Aladdin, Two Lamps... A story about storytelling as well as a rousing tract about the power of reading. At its heart, really, it's about what it means to be human. I love the particularity of Winterson's voice: its intensity, its spirited seriousness, playfulness and wit... Makes you think and makes you laugh (Nigella Lawson)
    It’s the confidence of her [Winterson’s voice and declarations…that seduces… [Winterson is] always worth reading
    Jeanette Winterson is a brilliant writer and her latest, One Aladdin Two Lamps is yet another unputdownable book… a combination of story telling, folk tales, history, its relevance in a modern setting
