Adam Gottlob Oehlenschlager / Theodore Martin
Aladdin: Or The Wonderful Lamp is a dramatic poem in two parts written by Adam Gottlob Oehlenschlager and originally published in 1863. The story follows the young and impoverished Aladdin, who discovers a magical lamp that grants him wishes. With the help of the genie, Aladdin becomes wealthy and powerful, but he must also contend with the evil sorcerer who seeks to steal the lamp and use its power for his own purposes. Along the way, Aladdin falls in love with the beautiful princess Badroulbadour and must navigate the complex politics of the royal court. The poem is a retelling of the classic Arabian Nights tale and features vivid descriptions, rich language, and memorable characters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
