Hans Thomas, a twelve-year-old boy, goes with his father from Norway to Athens in search of his mother, who abandoned her family several years ago and has now become a famous fashion model. From the very beginning of their journey, amazing things happen to them: the boy meets a mysterious dwarf who gives him a magnifying glass, and also receives from an old baker a little cake in which the smallest book in the world is hidden... This is unusually fascinating, at times mystical and at the same time full of allegories and deep thoughts, a novel by the classic of Norwegian literature Jostein Gorder about the inevitability of fate and the place of man in the universe.
