Description:
In this playful and surprisingly affecting novel, an 18th-century prince who seeks his own immortality devotes his entire wealth and the energy of his subjects to the creation of Rreinnstadt, a fantastic city that exists only on paper and in the minds of its creators. Among its fictional inhabitants is Pfitz, a loyal servant who mysteriously disappears one night from a tavern. Enamoured of Pfitz's real-life biographer, one of the city's cartographers sets out on a quest to find Pfitz, hoping he will be rewarded by love. His search leads him into a story of jealousy, intrigue, and murder. Recalling the philosophical tales of Diderot and Voltaire, this exploration of the rich territory between reality and imagination reveals a genuine affection for character and the terrain of the human heart.
