A delightfully illustrated cult novel, literary satire and epic adventure.

'Within the first 15 pages I was carried away by the sheer craziness of it all. Some Minipirates find a baby bear with blue fur inside a walnut shell floating on the ocean towards a giant whirlpool. They rescue him and teach him about knots and waves, and that a good white lie is often considerably more exciting than the truth. Then, when he outgrows their ship to such an extent that he is in danger of sinking it, they abandon him on an island with a bottle of seaweed juice and a loaf of seaweed bread. Thus Bluebear comes to the end of his first life and embarks on his second. By the end of the book, he has expended exactly half of his 27 lives. Again and again, Moers confounds our expectations as the narrative twists and turns, travels backwards and forwards in time. Part science fiction, part fairy tale, part myth, part epic, the book is a satire on all these genres and so constantly satirises itself. Very amusing' - Daily Telegraph

Kunders vurdering

Tori – 05.10.2006

– Denne boka snublet jeg over helt tilfeldig, og falt med en gang for permen. Etter å ha lest omtalen på baksida, ble jeg enda mer nysgjerrig. Og jeg ble alldeles ikke skuffet da jeg begynte å lese. 'The 13.5 Lives of Captain Bluebear' er veldig morsomt skrevet, og språket er vanvittig bra. Jeg synes kanskje at boka er litt for lang, den er på 704 sider. Kun på grunn av lengden synes jeg den blir litt masete på slutten, og det er ikke lenger så gøy å høre om ulike sprø vesner Walter Moers kan dikte opp. Men allikevel synes jeg den er vel verdt å lese, og man har det moro med boka lenge (kanskje bare litt for lenge).
