Synopsis

In the whimsical and perilous world of Zamonia, two centuries after the devastating fire that reshaped Bookholm, its greatest writer, Hildegunst von Mythenmetz, finds his tranquil vacation at Lindworm Castle abruptly interrupted. A perplexing message compels him back to the magnificently rebuilt metropolis of storytelling and the book trade, a city now brimming with new life and old acquaintances. Mythenmetz is drawn into a deep mystery, navigating the labyrinthine streets and the enigmatic 'Invisible Theater' that lies at the heart of Bookholm's renewed literary fervor. As he delves deeper, he encounters an array of eccentric characters and discovers the hidden dangers lurking beneath the city's charming facade. This epic adventure challenges Mythenmetz's wits and courage, plunging him into a fantastical world where books hold both magic and menace, and the line between reality and imagination blurs, promising a captivating and inventive journey through Walter Moers's unparalleled imagination.
