Description
Ein Blaubär, wie ihn keiner kennt, entführt in eine Welt, in der Phantasie und Humor auf abenteuerliche Weise außer Kontrolle geraten sind: Auf dem Kontinent Zamonien sind Sandstürme viereckig und Intelligenz ist eine übertragbare Krankheit, hinter jeder Idylle lauert eine tödliche Gefahr und es hausen dort all jene Wesen, die aus dem normalen Leben verbannt sind. In dreizehneinhalb Lebensabschnitten kämpft sich der blaue Bär durch ein märchenhaftes Reich, in dem alles möglich ist – außer Langeweile.
Description
"A bluebear has twenty-seven lives. I shall recount thirteen and a half of them in this book but keep quiet about the rest," says the narrator of Walter Moers’s epic adventure. "What about the Minipirates? What about the Hobgoblins, the Spiderwitch, the Babbling Billows, the Troglotroll, the Mountain Maggot…Mine is a tale of mortal danger and eternal love, of hair’s breadth, last-minute escapes." Welcome to the fantastic world of Zamonia, populated by all manner of extraordinary characters. 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 by the author.
