First Sentence
"KNOT AFTER KNOT, DAY IN, day out, for an entire lifetime, always the same hand movements, always looping the same knots in the fine hair, so fine and so tiny that with time, the fingers trembled and the eyes became weak from strain-and still the progress was hardly noticeable."
Work Description
Schon seit jeher fertigen die Haarteppichknüpfer ihre Teppiche für den Kaiser - Teppiche, die aus den Haaren ihrer Frauen und Töchter bestehen. Für die Herstellung eines einzigen Teppichs benötigen die Knüpfer ihr ganzes Leben, und von dem Erlös kann eine Generation ihrer Familie leben. So war es seit Anbeginn der Zeit. Doch eines Tages taucht ein Raumschiff im Orbit der Welt auf, das kurz darauf landet, um dem Geheimnis der wundersamen Haarteppiche auf den Grund zu gehen - einem Geheimnis, das alle Vorstellungskraft übersteigt.
