Summary: In the year 1997, a 13th child of an Indian royalty seeks out for an adventure that would banish all the boring traditional fancies at the palace. She encounters a stranger who presents himself as Ambrose von DuĊĦek, a foreign stranger who collects stories. He tells the young princess that she shouldn't leave the palace alone, for many thieves and bandits would give anything to lay their hands on her and steal what is most precious to a girl.
The princess brings him back to the palace and asks of him to entertain her, so she would not have the desire to go out again. Ambrose begins by telling the princess stories that he collected, myths and legends, fantasies and historical facts, some childish and some mature.
Their encounter brings forth three years in which the young woman is bathed in the beauties and mysteries of the outside world, of the nasty and ugly sides of life. That of modern and traditional things which seemed to her impossible to live together.
Even with his arrogant and sly personality, Ambrose manages to seduce the young woman's heart, making her not care for the fact that he is by nature a predator.
His stories are from every corner of the world, of all the four seasons, a millennia of history and folklore by a kaleidoscope of colours and metaphors. Told with so much vividness... as if he had been there...
