Twelve-year-old Hans Thomas and his father are driving from Norway to Greece in search of Hans Thomas's mother, who left them many years before. Along the way, the boy receives a mysterious miniature book - the fantastic memoir of a sailor shipwrecked in 1842 on a strange island where a deck of cards has come to life. But what does the sailor's journey have to do with that of Hans Thomas? And what can both their journeys tell us about our own quest to understand life?

Work Description

Hans Thomas og faren legger ut på blir en reise helt utenom det vanlige. Hans Thomas leser i hemmelighet den lille boka han har fått av en gammel baker, og alle skikkelsene som dukker opp underveis viser seg å ha overraskende forbindelser med hans eget liv. Kabalmysteriet er en erkjennelse av at livet er for kort til å ikke lete fram sitt trumfkort, som kanskje ikke alltid er den kyniske jokeren men heller den som sitter og leker med resten av stokken, mennesket med det undrende, vidåpne barnesinnet. "Men også jeg syntes jeg gjennomskua skjebnen nå takket være den lange historien jeg hadde lest i bolleboka," forteller Hans Thomas. Og kanskje klarer du det også, etter å ha lest Kabalmysteriet.
