When a young detective suddenly finds himself trapped inside a most unusual labyrinth, he must rely on his wit and curiosity to solve a mystery hidden among riddles, improbable encounters, and fantastical landscapes. As he journeys through this ever-changing world, he meets eccentric characters, forms unexpected friendships, and follows clues that challenge both logic and imagination.
Written by award-winning author Jacques Fux, whose works blend literary invention, humor, and intellectual playfulness, the story draws inspiration from the traditions of fantasy, mystery, and nonsense literature. References to labyrinths, myths, and classic literary works are woven into a fast-paced narrative filled with wordplay, surprising twists, and clever linguistic puzzles.
Illustrator Henri Campeã brings the labyrinth to life through vibrant, surreal artwork inspired by visual traditions ranging from M. C. Escher’s impossible architectures to dreamlike landscapes reminiscent of surrealism. The book’s innovative design becomes an integral part of the storytelling, featuring pages of different sizes that reveal and conceal visual elements, turning each page turn into part of the mystery. Text, illustration, and graphic design work together to create an immersive reading experience in which readers navigate the labyrinth alongside the protagonist.
