At the Sign of the Sphinx. Second series

A curious collection of riddles unfolds in a lyrical, almost theatrical style, inviting listeners to step into a world where every stanza hides a secret word. Each puzzle is presented as a fragment of a larger mystery, weaving together references to history, myth, and everyday objects that tease the mind without ever revealing the final solution. The poet‑narrator’s voice drifts from solemn executions to bustling market scenes, creating a vivid backdrop for the clever wordplay.

As the series progresses, the challenges become a playful dialogue between the listener and the enigmatic “whole” that ties each clue together. The book’s charm lies in its blend of poetic description and cerebral teasing, encouraging you to pause, ponder, and piece together the hidden meanings. Whether you’re a seasoned puzzler or simply enjoy a good mental workout, the rhythmic riddles promise an engaging auditory experience that rewards curiosity and imagination.
