Beschreibung
A poetic parable about free will and the cracks in perfection—presented in a unique special edition. This book unites the story of Liora in English, the High Elven language of (Neo-)Quenya, and the elegant Tengwar script. A literary and linguistic homage to J.R.R. Tolkien and the art of world-building.
Current Theme in Fairy Tale Guise: The book processes the highly topical discussion around artificial intelligence and superintelligence in the form of a timeless, allegorical tale.
Philosophical Depth: It impressively conveys that an unquestioning existence often only means standstill and that true growth requires the courage to be imperfect.
Visually Powerful Language: The story captivates with a very poetic language full of metaphors revolving around the weaving of threads of fate, light, and music.
Background Information: An exciting afterword by the author sheds light on the genesis of the text from a discourse on superintelligence and the meanings of the characters' names.
For readers of: The Little Prince, Momo, or Sophie's World—for anyone seeking stories that resonate long after the book is closed.
Global Literature Project: The story has a universal message and has been published worldwide as an international project in currently 50 languages (including English, Urdu, Swahili, Hebrew, and Sanskrit). More details on the website www.amiguitos.de/liora.
Unique Format: English text, (Neo-)Quenya translation, and Tengwar script displayed side by side—a visual and linguistic masterpiece.
