Herr Der Diebe
Also known as: The Thief Lord, Pangeran Pencuri
Author: Cornelia Funke
Depressed youngsters want to become adults as soon as possible.
Depressed adults miss their childhood and want to become children again.
How many books have explored that subject? And those books usually end up patronizing: cherish your youth, enjoy your time being children, there is a time and place for everything. (‘And it’s called college,’ says Chef in South Park.) While the adults? Well, they’re usually left seething, agonizing over their lost childhood, or realising that they’re now adults, time goes by however, nothing left to do but keeping on… etcetera etcetera.
While built on the similar problem – of youngsters and adults wanting to change positions – Cornelia Funke’s Herr Der Diebe tries to give different solutions to the problem.
( Get on the merry-go-round )
My final word? Read it, and feel the magic yourself!
