Portare nella vita reale i personaggi di un libro o addirittura entrare nel libro che stiamo leggendo: un sogno, che il padre di Meggie sa realizzare grazie al suo meraviglioso talento.

Ma quando Meggie decide di aiutare l'amico Farid a ritrovare il suo maestro tuffa insieme a lui nel mondo d'inchiostro, le parole dei libri si rivelano una terribile trappola. Amici, amori, fughe, incendi, duelli e scambi di persona in un romanzo indimenticabile.

Hineingelesen in die Tintenwelt: Mit ihrer Tintenwelt ist Cornelia Funke zur bekanntesten deutschen Kinder- und Jugendbuchautorin geworden. "Tintenblut (Tintenwelt 2)" spielt nun zu großen Teilen im Buch Tintenherz und bringt den Hörern die faszinierende Welt näher. Rainer Strecker hat die ideale Lesestimme, um die Geschichte stimmungsvoll zu inszenieren.

Meggie e suo padre Mo hanno il dono di far vivere le parole: ciò che leggono a voce alta, semplicemente, accade. Ma da quando loro stessi sono entrati nel "Mondo d'inchiostro", sono rimasti coinvolti fino al collo nelle vite, nelle emozioni e negli inganni di questo magico universo parallelo. Incendi di villaggi ed esecuzioni di innocenti avvelenano un mondo in cui dovrebbero danzare le fate e nuotare le ninfe, e Mo è costretto a dividersi tra i giorni sereni con sua moglie e sua figlia e le notti insanguinate al fianco del Principe Nero, passate a combattere gli sgherri.

Meggie ama i libri. E li ama moltissimo anche il padre Mo, che però rifiuta di leggerli a voce alta. Se lo facesse, infatti, porterebbe la vita nei libri e i personaggi dei libri alla vita. In una notte crudele lesse "Cuore d'inchiostro" e un malvagio signore dal cuore nero, Capricorno, si liberò dai lacci delle parole per materializzarsi nel suo salotto. In quell'attimo fatale accadde anche qualcosa di più grave: la moglie di Mo scomparve per sempre tra le pagine del libro. E ora il perfido Capricorno cerca Mo per piegare i suoi poteri a perfidi scopi.
