Details
The Eyes and the Impossible is a vivid and imaginative tale centered on Johannes, a free-spirited dog who thrives in an urban park by the sea. Tasked with being the Eyes, Johannes observes everything in the park and reports back to its wise elders—three ancient bison who guide the balance of life within the park. Johannes is joined by his trusted allies: a seagull, a raccoon, a squirrel, and a pelican, collectively known as the Assistant Eyes. Together, they work to maintain the park's delicate Equilibrium, keeping watch over the humans and animals that coexist there.
However, the harmony of the park is disrupted by new developments. The arrival of increasing numbers of humans, including disruptive "Trouble Travelers," begins to shift the balance. A mysterious new building emerges, filled with hypnotic and enigmatic rectangles that intrigue and unsettle Johannes. The sudden appearance of a boatload of goats brings chaos and leads to an astonishing revelation that challenges Johannes's understanding of the world.
This story is a poignant exploration of friendship, freedom, beauty, and the exhilaration of running fast. Written with humor and depth, The Eyes and the Impossible invites readers to view their surroundings with a fresh perspective, blending adventure and reflection in a tale that resonates across all ages.
