On invitation and prior registration
Goethe-Institut Max Mueller Bhavan Pune and PASCH Pune (Project - Schools: Partners for the future), present a reading from Tintenherz (Inkheart), the first part of the popular Inkworld-Trilogy by the internationally acclaimed, successful and popular childrens book author - Cornelia Funke. This online reading session will also include a Q&A, giving the participants a golden opportunity to interact with Cornelia directly!
About the book:
Published in both German and English in 2003, Inkheart was immediately so successful that Funke decided to turn it into a trilogy. Two years later, she published Inkspell and another two years on, Inkdeath.
Much like many other fantasy novels, Cornelia Funke's books also highlight the stark contrasts between the real world in fiction and the world of the imagination. These two fictive realms, however, relate to each as if they were linked through a keyhole. That keyhole, it turns out, are books themselves.
