Jörn von Holten: Liora an the Star-Wabster, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A poetic parable aboot a warld o perfect harmony an a lassie whase questions mak cracks in the flawless wab o reality. A modern bairn's tale aboot artificial intelligence, human autonomy, an the courage tae embrace imperfection.

Whan a question cuts sherper nor a sword, an an answer can tear the lift.

In Liora's warld, a painfullie perfect order rules. It is a realm athoot hunger an athoot trauchle, whaur ilka body has their place in the grand pattern an weaves "licht-threids" unner the guidin haund o the invisible Star-Wabster. But while ither bairns gaither licht, Liora gaithers stanes - "Speirin-stanes", heavy an angular in her pock.

Liora feels that anaith the smooth surface o bliss, somethin is missin: "that dirl we caw langin". Driven by a doot she canna name, she seeks the auncient Whisperin Tree. But her quest for truth comes at a heich price. Whan she speirs a question that is ower big for this warld, the unthinkable happens: The lift itsel cracks, an the harmonious order threatens tae sink intae chaos.

Alang wi Zamir, the master licht-wabster wha wants tae keep perfection at ony cost, an a community o seekers in the "Hoose o Waitin for Knowledge", Liora maun learn that freedom isna juist a gift, but a responsibility. She discovers that some questions are like seeds, while ithers are like knives - an that true beauty aften begins whaur the pattern breaks.

"Liora an the Star-Wabster" is nae classic bairn's tale. It is a wab o thochts, an allegorical exploration o super-minds an determinism, wrapped in the story o a lassie wha daurs tae pu her ain threid.
