Sinossi
«Questa è la storia di un luogo in cui leggere è ancora un’avventura. Un luogo dove, a leggere, si rischia d’impazzire. Dove i libri possono ferire, avvelenare e perfino uccidere. Solo chi, pur di leggere, sia veramente disposto a correre simili rischi, solo chi sia pronto a giocarsi la pelle pur di conoscere la mia storia, mi segua e volti la pagina».L’ammonimento di Ildefonso de’ Sventramitis la dice lunga su questo romanzo ambientato a Zamonia. Il famoso dinosauro poeta ci conduce in un viaggio alla volta di Librandia, per risolvere il mistero del manoscritto perfetto. La leggendaria città è piena zeppa di pericoli, mostri feroci e libri dotati di vita propria. Qui incontreremo l’alter ego zamonico di Lovecraft, ma anche di Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Honoré de Balzac e Goethe...«È la più bella e più grande dichiarazione d’amore alla lettura e alla letteratura che sia mai stata fatta».Die Welt«Un libro per tutti, un vero crossover sul lato oscuro e magico della lettura».The Independent«La scrittura di Walter Moers racchiude in sé Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams e una bottiglia magnum di assenzio».Die Tageszeitung«La critica non riesce a classificare la scrittura di Walter Moers: fantasy, racconto di viaggio, romanzo di formazione, dissertazione, videogame. Ma questa è la letteratura del futuro. Il primo grande classico del Duemila».Il Giornale

I know this is going to sound really silly, but this is the best book I've ever read. Please don't get distracted by all the illustrations and the fact that this is a fantasy novel; it is a timeless, mindblowing, deeply moving masterpiece filled with beautiful imaginary worlds and superior writing
Ein absolut grandioses, kreatives, humorvolles & doch ernstes Buch, welches jedmögliche Emotion in mir hervorgerufen hat. Walter Moers ist ein Genie 🙌🏻 Freue mich auf weitere seiner Werke.
What it Is Walter Moers (and his excellent translator, John Brownjohn) love language, and that love permeates ever page, many times. Consequently, the book is a comic hymn to the power, beauty and fun of words, along with a more cautious love of books (which can provoke, or even be, evil). The books Leggi tutto
what an amazing novel! ridiculous, irreverant, hilarious, philisophical, snuggly, informative, and many other ives that are positive. i don't want to spoil it, as if anyone could, for folks, so i'll just say this; a three foot tall dinosaur travels to said city in possession of a manuscript, and in
i dunno - this book isnt as cute/clever as it thinks it is. maybe if i were one of the adults-who-read-harry-potter, i would have a better understanding of it, but as it happens, i am not. i expected something more book-dorky, but it was just like reading a childrens adventure story. meh.

I reached the end of this tale with such mixed feelings. There were times when I felt that the book would never end and I was so very bored. There were other times when I drank up every word as if it were ambrosia, and I wanted the spirit of the book to shine through my every waking hour. Overall, t Leggi tutto
The City of Dreaming Books by German author Walter Moers is one of my all time favorite books. Since the original is written in German, and my German knowledge is minimal, I read the Dutch translation. I tried to look up all the names from the English translation, so everything should be clear, but
This is one of the most charming and delightful books I've ever read. Highly recommend to anyone who loves books, as they're really the heart of this story - both in terms of reading and writing them. I found myself smiling while reading most of this because it's just such a joy. This will definitel Leggi tutto
Ein total originelles und auch witziges Buch, ich habe das Lesen sehr genossen!
