    <![CDATA[In the wake of the breakout successes of Walter Moers's <em>The 13 ½ Lives of Captain Bluebear</em>, <em>Rumo &amp; His Miraculous Adventures</em>, and <em>The City of Dreaming Books</em>, Moers is back with this fourth book, the tumultuous tale of a little boy and his encounter with Death. Moers bases his utterly delightful story on twenty-one woodcuts by the inimitable Gustave Doré, the most successful illustrator of the nineteenth century. <p>In a world between legend and dream, <em>A Wild Ride through the Night</em> describes the exhilarating and comic adventures of his twelve-year-old protagonist Gustave, a boy who aspires one day to be a great artist. When a disaster at sea puts Gustave in the uncompromising hands of Death, he has the choice to give up the ghost or take on a series of six impossible tasks. Gustave embarks on a strange and perilous journey during which he must save a princess from an angry dragon, pull a tooth from the Most Monstrous of All Monsters, fly over the moon, and even, somehow, meet his own self. Will Gustave's creativity and imagination be able to save him from his fate?</p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting book.  The author takes the works of a 19th century illustrator as a jumping off point for inventing a story about said illustrator's inspiration for the illustrations (I could not have made that more complicated).  A quick read (I started and finished it today), it's an enjoyable read, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24592611">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[ Eigentlich ist es ja immer andersrum: Ein Autor schreibt ein Buch, und irgendwann später kommt ein Illustrator und macht sich ans Bebildern. So hat es Zeit seines Lebens auch Gustave Doré gehalten, dem wir wundervolle Stiche zu <em>Orlando Furioso</em>, <em>Don Quixote</em>, <em>Gargantua und Pantagruel</em> oder der <em>Bibel</em> verdanken.<p>  Walter Moers macht immer alles anders. Und so ist er auch diesmal den umgekehrten Weg gegangen und hat Dorés Kupferstiche zu einem neuen erzählerischen Kabinettstück versammelt. Dabei schickt er den 12-jährigen Gustave in seine eigenen (Alb-)Traumbilder und lässt ihn nach klassischer Märchenmanier (sechs gelöste Aufgaben = Todesaufschub) auf dem Pferd Pancho Sansa im &quot;Reich der Ungeheuer&quot; allerlei Abenteuer mit Fabelwesen, Rittern und Jungfrauen bestehen. Hier hat Gustave gegen treulose Kumpanen und die erste (kurze) Liebe gleichermaßen anzukämpfen. Dazwischen bringen diverse Diener des Todes unseren Helden in immer neue Gefahren: &quot;Wenn er aus den Fluten auftauchte, hatte Gustave die Wahl, gefressen, von Krallen zerfetzt, bei lebendigem Leibe verbrannt oder gekocht zu werden&quot;. Er hat also keine Chance -- und die nutzt er gut.<p>  Früher war Moers ja für seine Lügengeschichten bekannt, die er <em>Käpt'n Blaubär</em> in die sympathische Schnauze legte. In <em>Wilde Reise durch die Nacht</em> nun erzählt er endlich die ganze Wahrheit über die Welt der Mythologie: Hierzu gehört die Erkenntnis, dass Drachen nur dressierte Kampfhunde und Jungfrauen so richtig böse sind. Da ist sehr viel geklaut von Italo Calvino und den <em>Rittern der Kokosnuss</em>. Aber schon <em>Ensel und Krete</em> war eine kongeniale Verballhornung Grimm'scher Volksmärchenkunst. Und dass Moers die Illustrationen von Doré stibitzte, um sie mit neuem fantastischem Erzählstoff zu umgarnen, dafür ist man ihm bei der vergnüglichen Lektüre Seite für Seite dankbar. <em>--Thomas Köster</em></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[In the wake of the breakout successes of Walter Moers's <em>The 13 ½ Lives of Captain Bluebear</em>, <em>Rumo &amp; His Miraculous Adventures</em>, and <em>The City of Dreaming Books</em>, Moers is back with this fourth book, the tumultuous tale of a little boy and his encounter with Death. Moers bases his utterly delightful story on twenty-one woodcuts by the inimitable Gustave Doré, the most successful illustrator of the nineteenth century. <p>In a world between legend and dream, <em>A Wild Ride through the Night</em> describes the exhilarating and comic adventures of his twelve-year-old protagonist Gustave, a boy who aspires one day to be a great artist. When a disaster at sea puts Gustave in the uncompromising hands of Death, he has the choice to give up the ghost or take on a series of six impossible tasks. Gustave embarks on a strange and perilous journey during which he must save a princess from an angry dragon, pull a tooth from the Most Monstrous of All Monsters, fly over the moon, and even, somehow, meet his own self. Will Gustave's creativity and imagination be able to save him from his fate?</p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This would be the perfect book for a &quot;first book&quot;.  The very first book you read by yourself as a child.  Mine was the Hobbit, but this one would be an excellent choice.  There are fabulous etchings in it also from Gustave Dore.]]></body>
