Have you ever thought that reading books is boring? Or maybe you consider the story of a renowned artist born over a hundred years ago (and dead, to boot) passé?
Perhaps you think that Grzegorz Kasdepke has already told you all the interesting stories and the next one is bound to be dull? You’ll soon find out that’s not the case! This is an adventure novel, a detective story, and a biography all in one. Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a psychological tale with elements of criminological analysis, and some parts that even resemble a cookbook. In less than 120 pages, there are many surprising plot twists and remarkable characters – both real and imagined. And there on page 96, hidden beneath the bedside table, is Arthur Rubinstein’s right hand.
The author invites readers to enter an enticing investigation: solve the puzzle, meet prominent figures of the era, and search for important clues. Adults can also join in the fun while reading to children – there is space between the pages for conversation and delving into the biographies of the book’s characters. This is a great jumping-off point for exploring and creating your own bizarre stories.
Joanna Piekarska, translated by Kate Webster
