Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The story unfolds in a unique hotel where Numbers, including Odds and Evens, fill every room, yet new guests keep arriving. The arrival of Zero sparks a series of room switches, while the unexpected appearance of Letters complicates the situation further. Despite the hotel’s capacity being tested, it remains fully booked. The challenge escalates with the arrival of Fractions, leading to potential chaos. The narrative explores themes of infinity and accommodation, raising the question of whether a clever solution can be devised to house all the guests.
