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

Klappentext

A poetic parable aboot a warld o perfite harmony an a lassie whase questions rive cracks in the makless wab o reality. A modern bairn's tale aboot airtificial intelligence , human autonomy, an the smeddum tae embrace onperfection. Whan a question cuts sherper nor a swurd , an an answer can rive the lift. In Liora's warld, a sairly perfite order rules. It is a realm athoot hunger, athoot trauchle , whaur ilka body has their place in the grand pattern an weaves licht-threids unner the guidin haund o the onseen Star-Wabster. But while ither bairns gaithert licht , Liora gaithert 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 bi a doot she canna name, she seeks the auncient Soughin Tree. But her quest for truth comes at a heich price. Whan she speirs a question that is ower big for the lift , the onthinkable happens: the lift itsel rives, an the harmonious order threatens tae faw sindry. Alang wi Zamir, the maister licht-wabster wha wants tae keep perfection at ony cost, an a community o seekers in the "Hoose o Bidin Lear" , 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 , rowed up in the story o a lassie wha daurs tae pu a threid.
