Qwert
Description:
With his fantastic knightly romance *Qwert*, cult author Walter Moers has created a masterpiece" (Ekart Kinkel, *Badische Neueste Nachrichten*) After falling through a dimensional rift, Qwert—the Gelatinous Prince from the 2364th dimension—awakens in the parallel world of Orméa. To his bewilderment, he finds himself inhabiting the body and armor of a dashing knight he recognizes from pulp novels: Prince Kaltbluth. Naturally, his first task involves rescuing a bound beauty guarded by a three-headed monster. With the help of his invisible sword, Tarnmeister, he succeeds in the rescue—only for the damsel to reveal herself as a dangerous Janus-Medusa intent on turning all life to stone with her evil gaze. From this moment on, Prince Kaltbluth faces a knightly duty: he must rid Orméa of the unleashed Medusa. The complication? He has just fallen hopelessly in love with her. Walter Moers takes us on a whirlwind journey through a madcap world composed entirely of adventure, suspense, chivalric romance, witty dialogue, and the sheer joy of storytelling. In this breathless page-turner—where nothing is as it seems and the unexpected is the norm—the most adventurous ideas and images of our culture collide: from ancient myths and medieval romances to fantasy films; from the Nibelungen and Greek legends to Don Quixote, King Arthur’s Round Table, and even Monty Python. *Qwert* is a richly illustrated delight for readers aged 9 to 99. Like all novels set in Zamonia, *Qwert* tells a self-contained story, offering newcomers an entertaining and effortless entry point into the Moersian cosmos.
