✦ Synopsis
Optimus Yanspinner inherits from his godfather an unpublished manuscript by an unknown writer and sets off to track down the mysterious author, who disappeared into Bookholm - the so-called City of Dreaming Books. Yarnspinner falls under the spell of this book-obsessed metropolis, where an avid-reader and budding author can find any number of charming attractions--priceless signed first editions, salivating literary agents, and for-hire critics. But as Yarnspinner pursues the trail of the missing author, the darker side of Bookholm begins to unveil itself - cold-blooded book hunters, fearsome cyclopean booklings, sharp-toothed animotomes, and of course, the Shadow King, whose howls rise from deep beneath the city at night. Will Yarnspinner survive his quest into this world where reading is a genuine adventure?
Eine labyrinthartige Welt, ein mysteriЖser SchattenkЖnig, skrupellose BЭcherjДger und alberne Buchlinge - in diese absonderliche Welt gerДt der junge Dichter Hildegunst von Mythenmetz. Denn sein Forscherdrang hat ihn nach Buchhaim gefЭhrt, die legendДre Stadt der trДumenden BЭcher.
Die Stadt der TrДumenden BЭcher ist ein Roman von Walter Moers aus dem Jahr 2004. Wie bereits in einem der frЭheren Zamonien-BЭcher (Ensel und Krete) gibt Moers vor, ausschlieъlich als deutscher эbersetzer eines Werkes des zamonischen poeta laureatus Hildegunst von Mythenmetz zu fungieren. Laut Moers' Konstruktion stellt der Roman nur die ersten zwei Kapitel der 25-bДndigen, Эber 10.000-seitigen «Reiseerinnerungen eines sentimentalen Dinosauriers» aus der Feder des DichterfЭrsten von der Lindwurmfeste dar.
