Walter Moers in Bestform - große Erzählkunst aus Zamonien Hildegunst von Mythenmetz hätte gewarnt sein müssen. Schon auf der Überfahrt zur Insel Eydernorn, wo er seine Bücherstauballergie kurieren will, entgeht er nur knapp dem Tod. Doch im Hotel erwartet ihn ein musikalisches Hummdudel, seine Prominenz verhilft ihm zum Rang eines Patienten erster Klasse, und hilfreiche Küstengnome bieten ihm ihre Dienste an. Neugierig erforscht er die bizarre Fauna und Flora der Insel und widmet sich den hundertelf Leuchttürmen, die in der Nacht funkeln wie tausend. Alles könnte so erholsam sein, wären da nur nicht die immer bedrohlicher werdenden Begegnungen mit der Natur Eydernorns: hungrigen Belphegatoren und aufdringlichen Strandlöpern, monströsen Frostfratten, schaurigen Wolkenspinnen und dem gefährlichsten Dämon aus der Tiefe des zamonischen Ozeans, dem sagenumwobenen Quaquappa.Walter Moers`mit über 100 Zeichnungen illustriertes Epos über den selbstlosen Kampf einer verschworenen Gemeinschaft, die alles daransetzt, Zamonien vor der Apokalypse zu retten. Und mittendrin der Schriftsteller Hildegunst von Mythenmetz als dem gnadenlosen Schicksal ausgelieferter Held wider Willen. Wie jeder Zamonienroman erzählt auch »Die Insel der Tausend Leuchttürme« eine in sich geschlossene Geschichte, die Neueinsteigern so unterhaltsam wie mühelos den Weg in den Moers'schen Kosmos bahnt.Folgende weitere Zamonienromane sind bislang erschienen:Die 13 1/2 Leben des Käpt'n BlaubärEnsel und KreteRumo & die Wunder im DunkelnDie Stadt der Träumenden BücherDer SchrecksenmeisterDas Labyrinth der Träumenden BücherPrinzessin Insomnia & der alptraumfarbene NachtmahrWeihnachten auf der LindwurmfesteDer Bücherdrache Ausstattung: über 100 s/w Abb.
