Representaion To Books Der Schrecksenmeister (Zamonien #5)
In Sledwaya, der Stadt, in der »das Gesunde krank und das Kranke gesund« ist, spielt der neue Roman des zamonischen Großschriftstellers Hildegunst von Mythenmetz. Er handelt von der Auseinandersetzung zwischen Echo, dem hochbegabten Krätzchen, und Succubius Eißpin, dem furchtbaren Schrecksenmeister Sledwayas, der Faust und Mephisto in einer Person zu verkörpern scheint. Dieser lässt nichts unversucht, um sich mittels der Alchimie zum Herrn über Leben und Tod aufzuschwingen – und dazu braucht er nichts notwendiger als das Fett von Echo, der gezwungen ist, einen teuflischen Vertrag mit Eißpin abzuschließen..Identify Books Concering Der Schrecksenmeister (Zamonien #5)

The forth (translated, we've yet to see Hansel und Gretal in english) book in Walter Moers Zamonia sequence. This is different from the previous books as, following just one month in the life of Echo the Crat (exactly like a cat, except it talks) it avoids the pattern of the whimsical, if somewhat dark, travelogue.After the death of his mistress and on the point of starvation, Echo signs a contract with the evil alchemaster to be fed magnificent meals for a month, before giving his life so thatCreepy, Wierd and very Moers
This is seriously the goofiest book I've ever read. But I absolutely loved it, even if half of it was ridiculous plot twists and made no sense until it suddenly did.What?Loved it.
The Alchemaster's Apprentice: I always love Walter Moers books, and this one was no exception. It was disturbingly dark in a few places, but over all a very fun and engrossing read.
This was my second Walter Moers book, the first being The City of Dreaming Books. He's the MOST imaginative writer I've come across in a while, and I'll definitely be reading the rest of his books. But not only am I amazed at the creativity of Moers, I'm stunned by the translation into English. (Wish I had the translator's name here, but I don't.) The original German prose is filled with made-up words, and the English translation SOMEHOW manages to retain the author's intended impressions (at
I think I must have developed some Stockholm Syndrome, because I loved this book...until the ending! Throughout the whole thing I was just waiting for some lovely way- redemption not even necessarily included- for Ghoolion and Echo to go off happily into the future together as friends. I was even quite prepared for Ghoolion to have his way and go through with his "final experiment" at Echo's expense without any regret at all, only a humorous author's note about how all Zamonian stories end in
I love Moers, and really wanted to like this book more than I did. Moers' signature wit and imagination are palpable, but I feel like he gets way too caught up in himself and less concerned with story telling at times. There so many imaginary names and places he throws at the readers, only never to mention them again. Of course inventiveness is one of his defining characteristics as a writer, and is used mostly to his advantage in his works, but is rather excessive in this piece. This certainly
