Christoph Maria herbst liest Walter Moers - Eine Reise zur Insel Der Tausend Leuchttürme

None other than Christoph Maria Herbst - a self-confessed Zamonien fan - will interpret "The Island of a Thousand Lighthouses": Great linguistic power meets brilliant storytelling!

"As a big Moers fan, I'm delighted to be the one to take fans big and small on an adventurous journey through the latest Moers book live on stage," says acting star Christoph Maria Herbst. He first appeared on stage at the German National Library four years ago at the birthday gala for "The 13 ½ Lives of Captain Bluebear" and took the audience by storm as the Moers Reader.

Walter Moers is "extraordinarily looking forward to Christoph Maria Herbst's interpretation of Hildegunst von Mythenmetz and the "Island of a Thousand Lighthouses". I'm extremely excited, Moers said, to see what Herbst will make of the material with his comedic talent."

"The Island of a Thousand Lighthouses" is an epic, illustrated with over 100 drawings, about the selfless struggle of a conspiratorial community that does everything it can to save Zamonia from the apocalypse. And in the middle of it all is the writer Hildegunst von Mythenmetz as a hero against his will, at the mercy of a merciless fate. As in every Zamonien novel, Walter Moers tells a self-contained story that will fascinate both longtime fans and newcomers effortlessly pave the way into Moers' cosmos.

Following the reading, ten original novels signed by Walter Moers will be raffled off among all audience members.
