In Anlehnung an "Tausendundeine Nacht" und Boccaccios "Decamerone" hat der weitgereiste Freigeist Jan Graf Potocki seinen Roman in 66 Tage und ebenso viele Erzählungen unterteilt.

Auf diesem hügeligen Weg wird er in unheimliche, komische und erotisch-fantastische Abenteuer verwickelt. Potockis Roman, pointiert gelesen von Helge Heynold, umfasst unzählige erzählerische Gattungen und ist der wohl am raffiniertesten konstruierte Abenteuer-, Bildungs- und Schauerroman der Weltliteratur.

With his new Summoner’s License, Samuel is sent with a former classmate as his escort to meet Runescribe Elantrica Ilmora—someone who just might be able to discern the truth behind his odd spin on Calling Magic.
