Ink heart

Inkheart is about the bookbinder Mortimer Folchart (called Mo) and his daughter Meggie. Mo, the book lover and reading addict, has a talent that is a mystery to himself. One day, when Meggie was still little, he reads to his wife Teresa (called Resa) from the book Inkheart in his gifted voice. The criminal Capricorn and other characters are read out of the book into the real world. Instead, Resa and two cats disappear into the medieval world of ink for ten long years .

Years later, a stranger to Meggie comes to Mo to warn him that the book is in danger. It is the fire-eater Dustfinger, who had come out of the book in exchange with Meggie's mother. Together they drive south to hide the book with the help of Meggie's great-aunt Elinor, in which Resa may still be living. But Capricorn and his henchmen, above all the superstitious Basta, want to get their hands on the last copy so that they can read out the shadow, a dangerous creature and old ally of Capricorn. You eventually come into possession of the book. But after a few twists and turns, after being captured and liberated, Mo tries to defeat Capricorn with the help of Fenoglio, the inventor of Capricorn. But Meggie and Fenoglio are captured by Basta. It turns out that Meggie inherited the gift of picking out from her father. She realizes this when she reads Tinker Bell out of Peter Pan. Meanwhile, Mo, Elinor and Farid (Mo read him from the fairy tales from 1001 Nights ) try to free the kidnapped. With Fenoglio's writing skills, Meggie's magical talent and Mo's help, they manage to turn the tide and destroy Capricorn and his men. After years of oppression by Capricorn and the longing for her family, Resa manages to return - albeit in silence. Resa tells Meggie in sign language what it is like in the ink world. Meggie is very enthusiastic about this magical and mysterious world.

Ink blood

The magic of Inkheart cannot let go of Meggie, so she travels with Farid to the world of ink to explore the world her mother Resa described. First of all, out of longing for his old world, Orpheus (who named himself after the mythical singer) reads the fire- eater Dustfinger back into the world of ink. As a result of Orpheus' manipulation, Dustfinger's apprentice Farid remains behind and falls into the hands of the evil knife hero Basta. But Farid is able to escape to warn the family of the bookbinder Mortimer, whose daughter Meggie he loves, and to have Meggie read them into the world of ink in order to be able to warn and protect his role model Dustfinger there.

In fact, he succeeds in winning Meggie, who like no other has the ability to read over, to his plan. But she deliberately reads herself into the ink world - and against her intention also Gwin, the horned marten, which means Dustfinger's death. After Meggie and Farid managed to make their way from the Weglos Wald to the minstrels' camp, they met Fenoglio there. Since he was read by Meggie in the world of ink, he has lived as the court poet of the bacon prince in his city of Ombra and takes Meggie into his home. Farid is staying with Staubfinger and his wife Roxane on their herb farm.

Farid's warning remains unsuccessful. The bookbinder is surprised by Basta and his mistress Mortola. He, Resa and his opponents are read into the ink world by Orpheus. Mo is shot with a rifle by Mortola and he and Resa are left to their own devices. The nettle (one of the best healers in the ink world) finds the two and takes them to the secret camp of the minstrels, where they only meet with rejection, which the Black Prince can push into the background with his presence.

While Dustfinger in Inkheart repeatedly members of Meggie's family the criminals has delivered, he is here to their helpers. For a long time he becomes the main character because he is the only one who is familiar with all areas of the ink world. He understands the language of trees, knows how to deal with all mythical creatures and has such a perfect command of fire that he can even force it together with the water. He also associates with minstrels , healers and robbers , who here represent the opposing party to the principle of evil. He has been friends with the Black Prince , the protector of the minstrels and leader of the robbers, from childhood.

The poet Fenoglio, on the other hand, has difficulty finding his way around the world he has created. While he was in Inkheart contributed by its power over figures of Inkworld essential for the salvation of Meggie's family, his intervention was in the act of Inkworld ambiguous effects. Several times, with Meggie's help, he changes the world of ink, but time and again his ideas come true differently than planned.

After Mo, Resa and other minstrels are kidnapped by the men of the Adderhead, Meggie, Farid and Dustfinger make their way to the night castle to free them.

Meggie also falls into the hands of the Adderhead and both she and her father can only gain freedom for themselves and the other imprisoned minstrels if they bind the king of the night castle an empty book that is supposed to make him immortal.

Satisfied with Mo's work, the Adderhead actually releases her, but plans an ambush for her from the start. However, Dustfinger, Farid, the Black Prince and several other men rush to their aid. In the battle, Farid is killed by Basta in front of Meggie's eyes, who in turn is pierced with the sword by Mo for revenge.

Both Dustfinger and Meggie cannot get over the boy's death, which is why Dustfinger ultimately gives his life for Farids. After this action, Meggie reads Orpheus into the world of ink, who is supposed to write something to get Dustfinger back, since Fenoglio has given up on it.

Ink death

In the final volume of the trilogy, the conflict between Meggie's parents over the question of whether they should stay in the ink world, the world of the book, or return to the real world in which the book is written and read comes to a head. The focus of the action is the conflict between Fenoglio, the creator of the ink world, and the plagiarist Orpheus, who wants to change the ink world according to his ideas.

In the world of ink , Buchbinder Mo becomes a kind of Robin Hood under the name of " Jay " and fights on the side of the good against the evil prince Natternkopf and his soldiers.

Meggie feels more and more neglected by Farid, who serves Orpheus in return for the resurrection of Dustfinger, and slowly becomes receptive to the advertisements of Doria, a young follower of the black prince.

The adder's head is immortal, but since Mo had manipulated the “Empty Book”, it slowly begins to rot just like the book.

Orpheus feels very comfortable in the ink world and begins to rewrite it according to his own ideas and to his advantage, which Fengolio very displeases.

Resa, who is now pregnant, wants to go back to the real world. She makes a deal with Orpheus, whereby she is supposed to get Mo to call the white women. In return, Orpheus writes her the lines that bring her and Meggie back to the other world. In truth, Orpheus uses the trade as bait, because he wants to exchange Mo for Dustfinger when he dies. After Resa and Farid, instructed by Orpheus, persuade Mo to do so, the latter calls the “white women” who, as Orpheus secretly planned, kidnap him into their world.

Death, or the “great wanderer”, wants to punish Mo because he bound the Adderhead's “empty book” with which it was immortalized, and hires him to “white women” out of love for her daughters Ultimatum . He's supposed to destroy the book by the end of winter, otherwise he'll want to get him and his daughter Meggie. Mo accepts the ultimatum and has Dustfinger at his side.

After the Adderhead kidnaps all of Ombra's children with the help of the whistler, Mo surrenders himself in exchange for them to Violante, the Adderhead's daughter, who had previously offered to help him kill her father. In addition, he agrees to repair the “empty book”.

When the children are free again, they are brought to safety by the black prince, along with Meggie, Farid, Fenoglio as well as Elinor and Darius, who had read himself and Elinor into the world of ink. But when the whereabouts are revealed, they are hurriedly taken to the "tree of nests", the existence of which Fenoglio remembered just in time. There Meggie, with the help of Fenoglio, can turn events for the better through her gift of reading. Finally, a “white woman” appears to her, who writes The Last Song of the Jay (and thus Mo) on a piece of paper. She is also surprised to find that she also has strong feelings for Doria. She learns from Fenoglio that he is the character of a story that Fenoglio never published. As a grown man, Doria is a famous inventor there and is married to a woman who comes from a distant country and who gives him the ideas for his inventions.

Violante takes Mo to the castle in the lake, her grandfather's abandoned castle. Dustfinger accompanies him. As expected, her father arrives too. But through a secret passage his men take the castle and the adder head forces Mo to write a new book for him. Meanwhile, Resa Mo has rushed to help, she stands by him in the form of a swallow. Finally, Natternkopf's grandson Mo brings the "empty book" with the help of which he can kill him by writing the words heart, blood and death into it. Orpheus, who has joined the Adderhead and is constantly trying to intervene in the story, flees north to the mountains.

At the end of the book, Dustfinger lives with his wife again, Fenoglio is a famous poet again, Elinor has bought the house next to him, Mo stays with Resa and Meggie in the world of ink and works as a bookbinder again. Meggie realizes surprisingly that her heart beats faster for Doria than for Farid, who now wants to travel the country as a juggler. Obviously she is the woman from the distant land that Doria will marry. Meggie's little brother, who was born five months later, also grew up in the ink world. However, at some point he wants to visit the other world that Elinor told him about because he believes it is more exciting and exciting than his world.

The last sentence of the adventure plot on page 718 reads: “And everything was good.” With the exception of the introductory conjunction “and” - this is the German equivalent of the final sentence of the Harry Potter series of novels by Joanne K. Rowling ; it reads: "All was well."

Characters

Folchart family (volume 1)

Meggie Folchart - main character . A 12 year old girl who loves books. She is Mortimer Folchart's daughter and has golden hair. She can hardly remember her mother. She calls her father Mo. She has the gift of reading things in and out of books.

Mortimer Folchart - Also known as Magic Tongue, Jay, or Mo. He has mole brown hair and is tall. Meggie's loving father works as a bookbinder (book doctor). He can read things out of and into books. In this way he accidentally reads his wife, Theresa, into the book Inkheart . At the same time he brings Dustfinger, Capricorn and his knife helper Basta from this story into the 'normal' world or reality of Meggie and Mo. He has never read aloud since then. He's afraid of accidentally reading his own daughter Meggie into a book.

Resa Folchart - Resa, actually Theresa, is Mo's wife and Meggie's mother. In the beginning she had blond hair like her daughter Meggie, but after a while in captivity it got darker. When Mo read Dustfinger, Capricorn and Basta, she disappeared with the two cats in the ink heart . When she was read out again by Darius, she lost her voice. After it was picked out, she became Mortola's and then Capricorn's maid. But because she is caught looking for the book, she is supposed to be killed by the shadow, which fortunately is prevented.

Elinor Loredan - Meggie's great-aunt (maternal). She loves to collect books and is very proud of them. She lives alone in a big house until Mo and Meggie move in with her.

In Capricorn's village

Capricorn - The Antagonist in History. Read by the magic tongue of Mos from the fantasy of a story, arrived in our reality, he feels so comfortable here that he wants to gain as much power as possible. His mother is Mortola; and his father taught him that power is the most important thing in life. He wants to destroy all Inkheart books so that no one can read him back into his own world. His eyes are colorless and he does not feel any emotions. His real name is not known. He already forgot him in his youth because he started to name himself after the zodiac sign in which he was born (Capricorn = Capricorn).

Mortola - (also called "Magpie") Mortola is the mother and housekeeper of Capricorn. Capricorn doesn't tell anyone that Mortola is his mother because he is ashamed of her and his low origins.

The shadow - created from the ashes of its victims, the shadow is a huge and very dangerous monster. He only obeys Capricorn. He tries to get the shadow out of the ink world in order to use it for his own purposes.

Basta - one of Capricorn's followers. He came out of the book with Capricorn and was already inferior to him in Inkheart . In fact, he almost worships Capricorn. His trademark is his knife, which Dustfinger steals from him several times. He is also very superstitious and always wears a hare's paw around his neck.

Farid - Farid, an Arab boy, is accidentally read out of 1001 Nights by Mo while he is trapped in Capricorn's village. Farid is later freed and falls in love with Meggie. He is Dustfinger's loyal student and loves him so much that in order to let Dustfinger live again, at the end of the second part he sells himself to Orpheus. He's also good at spying, climbing, and other robbery arts as he lived with robbers throughout his ancient history.

Gwin - He's the marten from Dustfinger.

In the secret camp (Volume 2)

The Black Prince - He is the leader of the minstrels and jugglers and although he is called "the Black Prince" he has no royal blood. He always wears black and has dark skin.

At Roxane's farm (Volume 2)

Dustfinger - Together with Capricorn and Basta, it was picked out of the ink world . However, in contrast to Capricorn, he wants to go back to the ink world because he misses the magical creatures and he can only deal with fire in the ink world. He betrays Meggie and Mo during an attempt to return to the book, but later saves them both. Dustfinger is a good fire eater and can make the flames in the ink world grow the way he imagines. At first he doesn't like Mo and during his betrayal he has a guilty conscience mainly because of Meggie, but later, in the third part, they are inseparable and can even read each other's feelings. In the ink world, he is married to Roxane, who in the meantime married a second time while he was gone, and when Dustfinger comes back to her, she is already a widow. He also has two daughters: Brianna, who is about the same age as Meggie, and Rosanna, who unfortunately died of a fever before his return home. Dustfinger is very mysterious and often hides his feelings, which doesn't always suit him well. One of his trademarks is that he always wears dark clothes or long coats. When Farid is read from the Thousand and One Nights , Dustfinger develops into his friend and mentor. The three scars on his face were from Basta. He had cut her in the face because they were both in love with Roxane and preferred her to Dustfinger.

Roxane - Roxane is Dustfinger's wife in the ink world. She used to be a minstrel and moved from place to place with Dustfinger, but settled down when her first daughter was born and grows medicinal herbs. When Dustfinger was read across to the “real” world, she married again and is now a widow.

Jehan - He is Roxane's son of her second husband and helps her in the fields. He fears the fire because his father died in a fire in the barn.

Brianna - Brianna is the older daughter of Roxane and Dustfinger. She is a little older than Meggie and works as a servant to Violante, whom she rejects after Cosimo's death because she preferred his company to hers. A little later she worked as a maid for Orpheus, but was taken on again by Violante. She doesn't like to talk about her father because she doesn't forgive him for being away for ten years.

Rosanna - Rosanna was the younger daughter of Roxane and Dustfinger. She died of a severe fever as a child. Her mother buried her in the place where she played as a child.

At Ombra Castle

Der Speckfürst - also known as the Prince of Sighs since the death of his son Cosimo. Since then he has only wanted to hear lamentations. He's a little too fat and dies in the second part.

Violante - Also called "the ugly" or "the kind". She is the widow of Cosimo, daughter of the Adderhead and mother of Jacopo. Since the death of the Bacon Prince, she has barely had enough money to buy paint for Balbulus paintings. She gives away the remains of the castle kitchen to the poor and sells her jewelry for beggars and orphanages. When she was seven years old, she was sent to Ombra Castle by her father and shortly afterwards married to Cosimo.

Cosimo - Also called "Cosimo the beautiful" because of its beauty. He is the son of the Bacon Prince, Violante's husband and Jacopo's father. He died in an attack on the arsonists, but was brought back by Fenoglio's words and Meggie's voice. In his new life he fell in love with Brianna and wants to wage war against the Adderhead. Shortly after he left, he was killed by the Adderhead's men.

Jacopo - Jacopo is the son of Violante and Cosimo and grandson of the Speckfürsten and the Adderhead. He is also a great admirer of the piper. At the end of the third volume he brings Mo the empty book and thus delivers the adder's head to death.

Balbulus - It is the best illuminator in the ink world and was given to Violante as a "dowry" at Ombra Castle. The right hand with which he paints his pictures is cut off from the adder's head. He then flees to Violante at the castle by the lake.

Tullio - Tullio is Violante's fur-faced servant. He is often chased through the castle by the linnet men.

The Linnet - The Linnet is the brother-in-law of the Adderhead and brother of the fifth wife of the Adderhead. After the death of the Bacon Prince, he was declared governor of Ombra by the Adderhead, presumably because the Adderhead was certain that the Linnet would never stand against him or because his wife had asked him to. He likes to organize parties for his men and likes to go hunting. To do this, he often lets Orpheus read out new figures to hunt them down.

On the night castle

The Natternkopf - The Natternkopf is the ruler of the land south of the Weglosen forest. One of his daughters is Violante. He already had five wives, but four of them only gave him daughters, not the long-awaited son. He is afraid of death, which is why he forces Mo to bind him an empty book, which makes him immortal. When he realizes that the book is the reason why his flesh is rotting on his bones, he starts a hunt for the jay.

The fifth wife - She is the fifth wife of the Adderhead and is pregnant again during the act. This time, as the Adderhead hopes, with a son. She is also the sister of the linnet and looks more like a doll than a human.

Der Pfeifer - Der Pfeifer was once a minstrel from Capricorn. After Capricorn's disappearance, he went to the Adderhead. His nose is made of silver, it was cut off by a father whose daughter he seduced with his dark songs. Now his beautiful voice, for which Capricorn once loved him, sounds very pressed. After the fire fox's death, he becomes the herald of the adder's head.

The Burning Fox - He is the Herald of the Adderhead. When the Adderhead receives the empty book, he declares the fire fox a guinea pig. What the Brandfuchs does not know, however, is that Natternkopf also wants to try out the three words that no one is allowed to write in the book. So he tells the fire fox that he can kill the jay on the fourth word. But this word does not come up, because after Taddeo has written the three words, the fox dies. Since that day his sword has been used on Mon.

Taddeo - Taddeo is the night castle's librarian. When the Adderhead was still a child, he was his teacher and often protected him from his father.

In Minerva's house

Minerva - Minerva is the landlady of Fenoglio and mother of Ivo and Despina. When they have to hide the children from the piper, she comes to the cave and later to the tree of nests and helps the children.

Ivo - Ivo is Minerva's son, Despina's big brother and has been the man in the house since his father's death. In order to earn money, he begins to work for the dyers. He often tells his sister stories to scare her.

Despina - Despina is Minerva's daughter and Ivo's little sister. She likes to be told stories from Fenoglio.

Fenoglio - Fenoglio is a poet and the creator of the ink world. In the first part, he is drawn into the world of ink in exchange for the shadow, where he rents a room from Minerva and earns his living as a clerk. Cosimo, whom he had Meggie read, made him court poet and moved into the castle. When Cosimo dies, however, he is sent out of the castle and moves back in with Minerva. After Cosimo's death he got severe writer's block. But that dissolves again later and he writes a happy ending for some hopeless situations.

Rose Quartz - Rose Quartz is Fenoglio's glass man and sharpens his pen and stirs the ink for him. But he often complains that he has to work before breakfast and during Fenoglio's writer's block that he no longer has any work. Fenoglio likes to send him to Orpheus as a spy.

For literary classification

The Ink World Trilogy is about the power of literature and makes the author's imagination real to the main carnal characters by letting them, real people, enter the world of imagination.

In this it resembles works like Harun and the Sea of ​​Tales , The Neverending Story , The Shadow of the Wind and The City of Dreaming Books . Unlike in The Neverending Story of Michael Ende , the fictional world of the books is only changed from the outside, through the words of the narrator , and the real world changes because the narrated people gain power in it. While Ende emphasizes the creation of the literary work of art in the reader and listener in terms of reception aesthetics , Funke emphasizes the world-changing abilities of the artist . In doing so, she pleads for the responsibility, or at least shared responsibility, of the author at reception.

Motives and themes

Important themes in the trilogy are friendship and love, especially between Meggie and her father Mortimer, whom she affectionately calls Mo, but also between Farid and Dustfinger and Mortimer and Resa.

In Inkblood , jealousy becomes an important engine of action, for example when Dustfinger Farid is neglected in favor of his wife Roxane and his daughter Brianna, or when Natternkopf's daughter Violante is consumed with jealousy for Prince Cosimo, who in turn is interested in Brianna. Orpheus also shows multiple jealousy of others who, like himself, have the ability to read out. There is also space for a youthful, naive love story between Meggie and Farid.

The Ink World Trilogy is also about the art of writing books and the effects books have on the people who read them or read them aloud. This is embodied in the fact that z. B. Meggie, Mo, Darius and Orpheus can read objects and people from books.

Quotes from world literature

Cornelia Funke uses motifs from world literature several times in her book series and ties in with them through quotations at the beginning of each chapter, including quotations from Friedrich Nietzsche , Joseph von Eichendorff and Oscar Wilde . Most, however, come from classic children's and youth literature .

Some of the quotes are intended to encourage children to read the relevant books; others fit very well with the content of a chapter or are quotations from the author's favorite poet.
