Aladdin et la Lampe Enchantée

Philip Pullman

In a bustling city in ancient China, Aladdin, a poor but adventurous youth, meets a mysterious magician claiming to be his long-lost uncle. This "uncle" convinces Aladdin to retrieve a magic lamp from a secret cave, promising wealth and fortune. Inside the cave, Aladdin finds the lamp and, against instructions, also collects some of the cave's treasures. When he tries to leave, the magician, revealing his true intentions, traps Aladdin inside, desiring the magic lamp for himself. However, Aladdin, using the lamp, accidentally summons a genie who grants him three wishes. With the genie's help, Aladdin escapes the cave, becomes rich and powerful, and marries Princess Jasmine. The magician returns to steal the lamp, but Aladdin, with the genie's assistance, thwarts his plans and ultimately decides to free the genie, thus solidifying his own legacy as a wise and just leader. Aladdin's journey from obscurity to prosperity, guided by courage and wisdom, becomes legendary, inspiring future generations.
