Eißpin, the Schrecksenmeister of Sledwaya, besides his official office, also Alchemist, probably the best of Alchemist Zamonien. You know what are alchemists. Each of the Harry Potter knows, has ever heard of alchemists and you might have a clue what goals pursued an alchemist.
loses echo the scratches at the very beginning of the story for their owner. Thus it loses its source of food and so it is that he soon is near death, that death by starvation. Just before the starvation met Echo Eißpin seen in one of the streets and Sledwayas Eißpin, the echo is no simple cat, but a scraper, probably the last scratch in Zamonien. A scraper can talk not only with people, no, but also with all other beings who communicate in any way can. Eißpin Echo makes the offer that he would him a month to as much food dish, he can eat only eat this food should be also the most excellent, that one could visualize only. For this service, but would give echo to the end of the month, his life ago. Eißpin needs namely the fat of the scraper to it brew a potion or a cook, to which he has long worked towards him and as the last ingredient missing is the fat of a scraper. Since Echo would live only a short time anyway, he accepts the offer, and so is a contract between Scratch and Schrecksenmeister.
During the month of Echo will be strong. He gets to the castle, lives in the Eißpin know and also some of its secrets and people. By the way, he learns a lot about alchemy and something of the life of Eißpin why he has become so cold and callous and why he needs to be fat. It turns out that the Schrechsenmeister was once in love and has found that love through unfortunate circumstances do not meet.
tried Echo course to emerge from the contract and he shall give even the help of a Schreckse, the only Schreckse Sledwayas to help. How this fantastic story ends, I want to write now, but I think much can I already tell that they Echo out well ;-)
Just look at the video to I report on the book and how I liked it.
Book review: The Walter Moers Schrecksenmeister on the YouTube channel Michaela
The story about Echo and Eißpin reads my opinion, very good. It is well written and I could follow the amazing story very well. The history is very fantastic, but I would not say that it would be, to fantasy. This is only a feeling of me and I get this not make fast to any things, are to literature experts better able than I am. I have this story, really liked because it is a story which I think, fits into none of the usual genres. It is written in a lively, has emotions and is written so vividly how this can possibly do just one artist or painter. After all, Walter Moers is famous for his comics (eg The little asshole). They lost but not in long-winded descriptions, but the language of the book is clear and fresh. The story of the Schrecksenmeister and the scratch is quite different than the other two books I've read so far by Walter Moers. I think that he would like the many opportunities that the continent offers Zamonien enjoy, and also does not want to be committed to one genre. Since "The Schrecksenmeister" has already come out about 4 years ago, I hope that there will be soon a new story of Zamonien by Walter Moers. I'm curious as to whether Echo still the miracle of love got to know and whether it actually behind the Blue Mountains are internal itch.
