Haroun and the Sea of Stories

(4 reviews)
Set in an exotic Eastern landscape peopled by magicians and fantastic talking animals, this classic children's novel inhabits the same imaginative space as The Lord of the Rings, The Alchemist, and The Wizard of Oz. In this captivating work of fantasy, Haroun sets out on an adventure to restore the poisoned source of the sea of stories. On the way, he encounters many foes, all intent on draining the sea of all its storytelling powers.

When I was a kid I really liked fantasy stories with certain kind of wonders in them. I loved Michael Ende's The Neverending Story, I binged on wonder-centered folk tales, and reread Wilhelm Hauff's collection dozens of times. Something in the Haroun and the Sea of Stories reminds me exactly that - the feeling of awe and adventure, being engulfed in a brand new, yet somehow deeply familiar fantasy world. And I enjoyed it very much.

It’s been a long since since I had a book draw so beautiful images in my head, making a whole animation movie while reading it. This book is full of wonders, tales and magic, it makes you dream again like a child and makes me want to read it to my god-daughter to let her discover this magnificent tale of Haroun. And makes me want to go on a journey on the ocean of stories...
