★ Kay Mayer, a famous German fantasy writer (Cologne Review), a master of magical realism writing (German satellite 1), winner of Colinna International Book Award, French Fantasy Literature Award and German Horror Literature Award, has created more than 50 novels, which have been translated into more than 30 languages. The fantasy classic trilogy Book City with Hidden Pages is Meyer's sincere work which has been brewing for more than 20 years. As soon as it was published, it occupied the best-selling list of German Der Spiegel for 26 weeks, and also won him the Blazing Angel Award of 20 15 German fantasy literature.
★ "If anyone still doesn't believe in the magic of books, it must be because he hasn't read Hidden Pages Book City." (Der Spiegel)
For a long time, Meyer has always wanted to write a story about "love of books". He found that reading magic accompanied by smell, light, shadow and color is the source of writing and book-loving fanaticism, and it is these hidden aspects that build the connection between books and people, and the story of "book city with hidden pages" was born.
★ People who love books can gain strength from spiritual books and open the fate of fighting words between pages:
"Someone told you that you are just composed of words and phrases and exist in a book higher than all of us. All of us exist in this book." "People who already know each other can sometimes recognize each other."
"You separate the core of the page and cross into the world of hidden pages, and the story begins." "It doesn't matter if it takes a thousand years, because as long as the story is written down, it won't die."
"liking each other means finding out that they speak the same language; And falling in love is writing poems in the same language. Julia, I don't know if we have written poems to each other, but at least we have written a book together. "
★ The ultimate dream of the screenwriter, this time, is completed by the role itself: let the fate jump from the paper and let the language speak for itself.
Every writer is the creator of a world and plays a role in a higher world. Every reader is an intruder in a literary shelter. They meet and create their own adventurers.
As an individual, the role is lonely, while the universe of literature is boundless; "The world is black and white, and Kay Mayer is color." (German book magazine)
★ 1000 pages of Grimm's Fairy Tales is a fantastic classic in the post-Harry Potter era. The vast world structure and endless cool settings are dazzling and unforgettable. Welcome to the world of refuge, Adam College, origami bird, transport ship, nameless river, crossing art, book demon, book leech, blank book, dead book forest, book cellar ... mind book and book witchcraft!
"The historic book city Haiyibao stands on the hill in the center of the town, with sharp gables and blood-red chimneys. The roof of the whole city is like an ocean composed of gables and sloping tile roofs, and smoke rises from chimneys. "
"Shelters have always had different functions, such as book city or printing house shelter, all to meet the needs of book collection. These places are called "shallow shelters"; In addition, there are some remote and small-scale shelters to meet special needs. For example, entertainment shelters, hunting shelters, healing shelters, and even some shelters that can simulate the battle scenes of night shelters all have book monsters that fall from pornographic books, so that people who have never participated in the war can experience the thrilling book witch war. "
"Book witchcraft is a miracle created by talented book lovers by absorbing the magic contained in books. A fully capable calligrapher has a book of his own mind. Every time he separates the hearts of the pages, he will accumulate the power of the book, but it must be the book of the mind that finds the calligrapher, not the calligrapher who finds the book. Any book wizard who doesn't respect books will eventually lose his ability. "
"Cigarettes and mirrors are the favorite cigarette brands of most book wizards. With a little practice, their cigarettes can reproduce the key scenes in the last book that smokers read. "
"Book monster belongs to second-class creatures. They don't want to accept that they are just evil products of human imagination. They are novel characters who accidentally broke into the real world under the influence of book witchcraft, and the boundary between virtual world and real world gradually blurred. No one in the human world welcomes them, and they themselves are eager to return to their original works. But they could never go back, so the agents of Adam College imprisoned them in the control area of the shelter and let them live in misery and depression. "
"In the forest of death, if you plant a destroyed book, a tree will grow. If you plant a witch's thought book, there will grow a Calit, just like their former master. During the day, Calit people become human beings and wander in the woods. At night, they will turn into birch trees and hide in the bushes until the sun rises. "
"Blank books can be called a time bomb of book witchcraft. It is said that I don't know when it will infect all the books nearby, and this blank will spread from book to book like wildfire. In a few days, all the books in the libraries in the world will become rolls of white paper, and all literary works will disappear overnight. At that time, book witchcraft will also disappear. People have given this doomsday prediction a resounding name: Wen Yi. "
"Reading lamp is a wizard artifact created by Fulya's grandfather a long time ago. It has no eyes and no mouth. Its sound comes from the inside, just like an ancient phonograph with a metallic tone. The harsh creaking sound of the joints when moving can almost make the stone sour. "
"Two mini origami birds are squatting on the bookshelf above, and some are yellow and faded. One of them is pecking at the dust on a book of poems, and the other seems to be responding to Fu's eyes. "
"If you want to use books to cross, you need two identical books, and they must come from the same version. After the crossing was completed, the book disappeared. Since then, it has been wiped out, which is an inevitable sacrifice. "
"Blanche stopped quietly in the middle of the hall, as if someone had taken everything that the Mississippi Fleet was most proud of out of its familiar environment, magnified it dozens of times and put it here, just like the remains frozen on the ocean. The fragile blades made of paper on the two paddles are purely decorative. There is absolutely no way this ship can be launched. It is only used to float and sail in the hidden world. "
"The nameless river passes through the hidden world and passes through countless books along the way. It will go through every book about rivers. It is like an actor in countless movies, sometimes the protagonist, sometimes just the background. It is said that the water of that unknown river will eventually pass through all these books. It may be a stream or a swift river. "
brief Introduction of the content
★ Book 1: The Book of the Mind ★
Walking down the steps, on the way to the book cellar, Fulia has smelled the story, which is the best taste in the world.
The new book smells of ink, binding glue and longing; Old books exude the flavor of adventures and stories contained in them; As for a good book, it not only reveals the fragrance that contains all this, but also carries a magical fragrance.
Although she is extremely impatient, she still can't change the theorem that it is the soul book, not her, that must be found. The vast world outside is so vast, bustling, lively and turbulent, but the Fairfax family lives alone in the Cotswolds, living in the silence of books and avoiding the spies of Adam College.
Like human beings, books have an unknown side, but only a few talented readers can discover its magic. Such readers are called book witches. /kloc-Julia Salamandra Fairfax, a 0/5-year-old girl, is anxiously waiting for the arrival of her book of the soul, thus officially becoming a book wizard and exerting the magic of language and writing.
However, the crisis suddenly struck, and the plot of Wen Yi was about to begin. My father was killed by mistake while hunting a blank book at night, my brother was taken away by a female killer, and the family manor was occupied by the enemy. Her only chance is to escape to the book city. There, she met the duke who loves chocolate, the longhorn sheep man, the agent of Adam College, the girl who stole books and the teenager of the rebel army, and learned about bookstores and all kinds of strange bookstores. More importantly, she met her soul book, a bird's beak book with a red cover.
She was involved in the struggle between Adam College, the ruling group of Wizarding World, and the rebels. She experienced battle and pain, as well as friendship and test. She even inadvertently changed the "past" to save her friend's life. She became more and more proficient in mastering the power of the book wizard, and the book wizard world gradually revealed its secrets to her. ...
★ Volume II: The Country of Eternal Night ★
Sumbella went to the wall where Finian's parents were shot and touched the brick with her fingertips. It was a long minute before she turned to Finian again. "Do you know what is the most cruel thing they have done to everyone? They let all of us have the same story, you, me, floria and many others. They forced us to wear the same mold, took away the people we loved, and made us do something we would never do before. Even those who resist them are forced to arrange roles by them. "
Fulia began to exude a book fragrance: she is successfully growing into a top book wizard. At the same time, the rebels are faced with internal and external troubles: on the one hand, it is the omnipotent means of Adam College; On the other hand, it is the internal division and vacillation of the rebels.
Fulia knew for a long time that the world of Shuwu was created by her childhood pen pal Seffrin, her ancestor and the bandit novelist "Seven Stars" 200 years ago. But what she didn't expect was that even the seven-pointed star was just a character in a higher book-"It's not surprising that I created the world of Fidra and calligraphers by writing a book of creation, isn't it?" Maybe the whole universe is just a library in a library. Every book is a part of another book. Everyone comes from the imagination of one author, and this author himself is imagined by another author. "
As a creation with a higher will and a forced character, how will Julia and her friends fight side by side in this fictional world to survive after knowing their own situation?
★ Book 3: Letters from Home ★
"Is that what that sentence means?" Julia asked, backing away from the boat. "You said that I hope to finish the last blank book one day. When you say this, do you think you can persuade me to see the world with your eyes? Think it should be destroyed? "
"Not blind destruction," said Seven Stars, "but renewal, change and creation of a better world. When I was writing a novel, in order to make the story more exciting, I deleted the whole chapter and rewritten it. You can do the same, Freya, but this is your own story, the story of witches in all the books. As long as we rewrite the contents of the book of creation, we can change the past, the present and the future. Julia, you have the ability to correct all my mistakes and stupidity and make the world a better place. Who would refuse such an opportunity? "
"I," floria said, "I don't even want to think about it."
Nowadays, oppression and resistance are futile and ridiculous, and the world of book wizards is facing an unprecedented crisis: something called "thought" is spreading, devouring one shelter after another, and the whole world of book wizards is about to be swallowed up.
Julia was swallowed up by the idea, but it didn't completely disappear. Instead, she was sent to a shelter for the night-the bloody battlefield more than 30 years ago, the land of ruins now, and the exile place of the seven-pointed star. There, she met the ragged seven-pointed star Fidra, the mother of the book witch, and the powerful book demon Mentana. Everyone asked Fulya to rewrite Genesis according to his own ideas, so as to make the reality conform to his own wishes. After all, according to the records in the Book of Creation, only Seven Stars and Fauriat have the right to rewrite it, and Seven Stars have long lost the power of this book.
However, the lesson of rewriting history last time made Julia choose to flatly refuse. Because mistakes will appear in previously healthy places without warning like diseases, and no one can foresee and stop every mistake, and no one is qualified to rewrite history and the fate of others. Julia is determined to save the world of books and wizards in her own way. ...
