The reader sees the oriental market with bright silks, feels the heat of the merciless sun and hear marvelous aromas. Magic envelops from the first page. The story tells about a young boy Aladdin, who was the soon of a poor tailor. One day a stranger comes to him and calls himself his uncle Mustapha. He gives Aladdin many gifts and promises a rich life. Aladdin only has to get some old lamp and give it to 'uncle'. Everyone dreams of such an easy way to a comfortable life. Only the relative is actually an evil image. And the lamp is the genie's dungeon.
