Playful enough for young adult readers yet as intricate and engaging as any work of literary fiction, The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear has the plot of a novel and the spontaneity and humor of a vintage comic book, making it an instant international cult classic.
Starting in 1999 with The 13 Lives of Captain Bluebear, Moers has. It's a land of imaginative lunacy and supreme adventure, wicked satire and epic fantasy, all mixed together and turned on its head. Walter Moers was born on 24 May, 1957 in Mnchengladbach, Germany, is an Author and artist. In company with our indomitable hero, we enter a realm of the imagination that combines the fantasy of The Lord of the Rings and The Neverending Story with the humour of Baron Munchausen, and where anything can exist except boredom. The 1312 Lives of Captain Bluebear is a 1999 fantasy novel by German writer and cartoonist Walter Moers which details the numerous lives of a humansized bear with blue fur. In this remarkable book, Captain Bluebear tells the story of his first thirteen-and-a-half lives spent on the mysterious continent of Zamonia, where intelligence is an infectious disease and water flows uphill, where headless giants roam deserts made of sugar, and where only Captain Bluebear's courage and ingenuity enable him to escape the dangers that lie in wait for him around every corner. Captain Bluebear is a bear with blue fur, a creature as unique as the fantastic adventures he undergoes. This is fortunate, because our hero is forever avoiding disaster by a paw's breadth.
Unlike cats, which have only nine lives, bluebears have twenty-seven. Captain Bluebear is a bear with blue fur, a creature as unique as the fantastic adventures he undergoes.
