Book
The 13 1/2 lives of Captain Bluebear : being the demibiography of a seagoing bear ... and excerpts from the 'Encyclopedia of the marvels, life forms and other phenomena of Zamonia and its environs,' by Professor Abdullah Nightingale / Walter Moers; translated by John Brownjohn.
Welcome to the fantastic and wondrous world of Zamonia, populated by all manner extraordinary characters, and created by author and illustrator Walter Moers. Bluebear's adventures unfold episodically from his first life - which begins as the miniature baby Bluebear floats in a wayward chestnut in the outer vortex of a giant maelstrom- to his 13 1/2 life, a peaceful interlude following his confrontation with the infamous Spiderwitch. In the twelve lives between, Bluebear explores a lost continent. It's a land of imaginative lunacy and supreme adventure, wicked satire and epic fantasy, all mixed together, turned on its head, and lavishly illustrated.
