In the organizer's words:

Cornelia Funke's "Tintenwelt" novels are a rainbow in the gray of conventional young adult literature - humanism in novel form! Cornelia Funke not only tells nerve-wrackingly exciting and entertaining stories about love and betrayal, life and writing, the "Tintenwelt" saga is also a declaration of love to literature itself.

This is also true of "The Color of Revenge" - the eagerly awaited fourth "Ink World" volume. The plot centers on a book illustrator who can literally erase people with his work. It is therefore about the moral responsibility of the artist for his work. "Art didn't care about a few hungry children! Great art demanded sacrifice!" thinks this illustrator. And another character explains: "Books ... don't trust them. They can take you away, to strange places, to other worlds, just by the words they contain." Cornelia Funke reads from "The Color of Vengeance" on the last day of the festival and talks to Denis Scheck about the dangers and beauty of literature.
