A tale of a Tatar khan's impossible love for a captive Polish countess in his Crimean harem is interwoven with stories from the life of the poet Pushkin in 1821, exploring links between distance, imagination, and memory. It follows the young Polish countess Maria Potocka through her abduction from her father's estate by Tatars during a slave raid, to her time languishing in the harem in the palace at Bakhchisaray, to her death before the Tatar khan could win her love. In his grief, the khan erects the Fountain of Tears, a monument to Maria that still stands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie de Montalk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0864735316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780864735317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 7.10w x 0.76d","brand":"Stephanie de Montalk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483730456831,"sku":"9780864735317","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4538d1e5-380b-4351-8665-45a0c9da73be.jpg?v=1778040283","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fountain-of-tears-stephanie-de-montalk-9780864735317","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
