Artemis é o único herdeiro do clã Fowl, uma lendária família de personagens do submundo, célebres na arte da trapaça. O garoto imagina um plano para recuperar a fortuna de sua família, após o desaparecimento misterioso de seu pai. Seu plano poderia derrubar civilizações e mergulhar o planeta numa guerra entre espécies.

O garoto começa a pôr seu plano em prática em Ho Chi Minh, a calorenta capital do Vietnã, em pleno século XXI. Lá, aliando tecnologia de ponta a seus dons criminosos, ele chantageia uma fada decadente para roubar seu Livro, objeto que permitirá desvendar os segredos do Povo das Fadas e descobrir onde esse povo guarda uma enorme reserva de ouro. O único problema é que o Livro está em gnomês — o idioma das fadas, um alfabeto ancestral, jamais decifrado por um humano. De volta à sua segura mansão na Irlanda, ele trabalha freneticamente, com a ajuda de seu superpotente computador, até conseguir desvendar o código e traduzir o texto. Mas isso é só o início.

Em um lance ousado, Artemis sequestra uma das criaturas do Povo das Fadas para assegurar o sucesso de seu plano. O que ele não esperava era se deparar com a capitã Holly Short, uma elfo valente e irritada da LEPrecon, a unidade de elite da polícia das fadas. Resultado: em pouco tempo, Artemis se vê em meio a um exército de fadas, gnomos, duendes, elfos e trolls, com armas muito mais avançadas que as dos humanos. Artemis está confiante que pode vencê-los quando bem entender, mas eles pararam de jogar conforme as regras.

Work Description

Artemis Fowl is the first of a series of semi-realist novels produced by Eoin Colfer. They document the adventures of a precocious prodigal child of the criminal empire, Artemis Fowl. In this book, accompanied by his huge and loyal bodyguard/sidekick/advisor Butler, Artemis engages in a series of surreal activities; the absence of his missing father and the mental disorder of his mother allow him to pursue the unlikely position of a criminal mastermind. However, Artemis soon encounters more than he bargains for when his attempted capture of a member of the underground 'fairy' civilization goes terribly wrong. Be prepared for a thrilling adventure, with trolls, magic and much more!

Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is a millionaire, a genius, and above all, a criminal mastermind. But even Artemis doesn't know what he's taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit. These aren't the fairies of bedtime stories—they're dangerous! Full of unexpected twists and turns, Artemis Fowl is a riveting, magical adventure.
