Produktbeschreibung

From Booker Prize-Winner Ben Okri. A group of world-weary travellers discover the meaning of life in a mysterious mountain village.

Eight film-makers arrive at a small Swiss hotel on the shores of a luminous lake. Above them, strewn with lights that twinkle in the darkness, looms the towering Rigi mountain.

Over the course of three days and two nights, the travellers will find themselves drawn in to the mystery of the mountain reflected in the lake. One by one, they will be disturbed, enlightened, and transformed, each in a different way.

The Age of Magic has begun. Unveil your eyes.

ALSO BY BEN OKRI:

Astonishing the Gods, In Arcadia, A Way of Being Free, Dangerous Love.

Rezensionen

'Okri is incapable of writing a boring sentence' Independent on Sunday

Praise for Ben Okri:

[Okri s] writing takes on the great riddles of existence freedom and consciousness, truth and illusion, suffering and transcendence spinning them into shimmering, allegorical texts at a time of deep reckoning and crisis his work feel[s] all the more prescient. New York Times

Fiction s master of enchantments stares down a real horror, and without blinking or flinching, produces a work of beauty, grace, and uncommon power. Marlon James

Ben Okri is that rare thing, a literary and social visionary, a writer for whom all three literature, culture, and vision are profoundly interwoven. Ali Smith
