Where perfection cracks, true life begins.
In Liora's world, a painfully perfect order prevails, woven by the invisible Star-Weaver. But Liora does not collect threads of light like the other children; she collects question stones. When she begins to question the flawless pattern, reality itself threatens to tear apart.
This special edition of Liora and the Star-Weaver is much more than a philosophical fairy tale about determinism and superintelligence. It is an aesthetic experience and a deep bow to the creator of Middle-earth. The book presents the story side by side in three forms: in English (the language in which the Professor himself thought and wrote), in Quenya (the unfinished, living High Elven tongue), and in beautiful Tengwar calligraphy.
For the author and computer scientist Jörn von Holten, the very nature of Quenya perfectly mirrors Liora's fate: The language is fascinatingly logical, yet left unfinished by its creator. And it is precisely in these gaps-where Neo-Quenya steps in to continue spinning the pattern-that something entirely one's own emerges. A book for all who know that unfinished things are often the most honest, and who not only want to read myths, but to hear them.
(Note: This edition features the English text of 978-3-910339-60-6, the Quenya translation, and the Tengwar script side by side. its Chapter 2 and parts of the afterword are intentionally omitted from the Quenya passages.)
