Aladdin und die Zauberlampe

Philip Pullman

In a bustling city in ancient China, Aladdin, a poor but adventurous youth, meets a mysterious sorcerer who claims to be his long-lost uncle. This so-called uncle convinces Aladdin to retrieve a magic lamp from a secret cave, promising wealth and good fortune. In the cave, Aladdin finds the lamp and, contrary to instructions, also collects some of the cave's treasures. As he is about to leave, the sorcerer, revealing his true motives, locks Aladdin up and wants the magic lamp for himself. But Aladdin accidentally summons a genie who grants him three wishes. With the help of the genie, Aladdin escapes the cave, becomes rich and powerful, and marries Princess Jasmine. The sorcerer returns to steal the lamp, but Aladdin, with the help of the genie, thwarts his plans and ultimately decides to free the genie to cement his own legacy as a wise and just leader. Aladdin's journey from obscurity to prosperity, guided by courage and wisdom, becomes legend and inspires future generations.
