The whole city is eagerly awaiting the new automaton of the great clock. But Karl, the apprentice in charge of creating it, is desperate because he has done nothing. Doctor Kalmenius, a genius of watchmaking, arrives to help him. This is the beginning of an abominable night: his creations, as fabulous as disturbing, cause a series of incidents. Would the mechanics of time be dictated by a diabolical logic? A book by Philip Pullman, author of the famous series 'His Dark Materials'.
