Translated by Jethro Bithell

''Turandot, Princess of China: A Chinoiserie in Three Acts'' is a dramatic play by Carlo Gozzi, first published in 1913. The story follows Princess Turandot, who challenges suitors to answer three riddles under the threat of execution, reflecting themes of love, sacrifice, and the exoticism of Chinese culture. Set against the grim backdrop of Pekin, the play explores the tension between Turandot's cold demeanor and her hidden emotions, particularly through the character of Prince Calaf, who seeks to win her heart despite the deadly stakes.
