Product details

On the trail of a mysterious manuscriptWhen the godfather of the young poet Hildegunst von Mythenmetz dies, he leaves his protégé little more than a manuscript. But this manuscript is so flawless that
Mythenmetz feels compelled to investigate the mystery of its origin. The trail leads to Buchhaim, the city of dreaming books. When the hero enters it, it is as if he is tearing open the door to a gigantic bookstore. He smells the tang of acid reminiscent of the scent of lemon trees, the bracing aroma of old leather, and the sharp, intelligent perfume of printer's ink. Once in the clutches of this book-crazed city, Mythenmetz is sucked deeper and deeper into its labyrinthine world, where reading is still a real danger, where ruthless book hunters lust after bibliophilic treasures, bookies play their mischievous tricks, and the mysterious Shadow King rules.This is a novel set in the legendary book kingdom of Zamonia. The following other Zamonia novels have been published so far:The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain BluebearEnsel und KreteRumo & Die Wunder im DunkelnDer SchrecksenmeisterThe Labyrinth of Dreaming BooksPrincess Insomnia & the Nightmare-colored NightmareChristmas at LindwurmfesteThe Book Dragon.
