Sinossi
Malfrosto venne sempre più vicino, si fermò infine davanti al cratto, si chinò su di lui e l'osservò, a lungo e spietatamente. Il vento gli faceva fremere l'ossuto collare e gli occhi scintillarono di scoperta e maligna soddisfazione di fronte alle evidenti sofferenze d'una creatura in procinto di tirare il calzino. Il puzzo di ammoniaca e etere, di zolfo e petrolio, di acido prussico e essenza cadaverica penetrò come un fascio d'aghi affilati nel sensibile nasino di Eco, ma lui non si spostò d'un dito. "Mi fa la carità, signor accalappiastreghe municipale?" gnaulò miserevolmente. "Ho una fame tremenda". Lo sguardo di Malfrosto s'accese di lampi ancor più demoniaci, e un largo ghigno gli comparve sulla facciaccia pallida. Sfoderò l'indice lungo e secco per solleticare le costole sporgenti di Eco. "Sai parlare?" domandò. "Dunque non sei un gatto qualunque, ma un crattino. Uno degli ultimi esemplari della tua specie". Gli occhi di Malfrosto si strinsero quasi impercettibilmente. "Che ne diresti di vendermi il tuo grasso?" Età di lettura: da 12 anni.

Recensioni
Postponing everything bar work can only mean one thing, another Walter Moers book needs a reading. Nobody does comic fantasy better, and this is something that is cemented again in what is the fourth book set in the Zamonia world. This series has always been about adventure, as different memorable ch Leggi tutto
Wurde irgendwann langweilig...
The back of this book has a review by the New York Times Book Review with the words "Cheerfully insane..." When I started this story I just didn't know if I could get into it. Walter Moers imagination is off the charts - it felt like I was being sat down and told a fairy tale with names being made up Leggi tutto
"Oben ist unten und hässlich ist schön."
I was walking slowly through the Fantasy stacks at my favorite library, caressing the spines of the Walter Moers as I came to them, when I stopped in surprise and nearly fell over myself trying to snatch this book off the shelf before anyone else could. You see, not enough of Moers' books have been
Another winner by Walter Moers! This book follows Echo the Crat (a cat that can speak all creature's languages) as he is saved from starvation by the Alchemaster, Ghoolion. Ghoolion's proposal is to treat Echo to the most amazing culinary treats in order to fatten him up to then, well end his life t Leggi tutto
Giving this a pre-emptive 5 stars, though I am not done yet. Reviews call this a "children's book for adults," and I don't think that's too far from the truth. What makes it "adult" is not large-scale political troubles or the horrors of the human condition a la The Guy Who Wrote Wicked and Other St Leggi tutto

Es ist nicht mein liebster Zamonienroman, aber er war trotzdem natürlich mal wieder super. Vor allen Dingen war das Ende mal wieder super spektakulär und einfach nur schön. Vor allem auch die intertexutellen Bezüge machen den Reiz dieses Buches aus und auch die Nachwörter des Autors und des Übersetz Leggi tutto
An almost-literal feast for fantasy lovers! Some years back, I read two books by Walter Moers: 'The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear' and 'The City of Dreaming Books' - both of them long and involved books, as I recall, and I enjoyed them immensely. To be honest, my reading tastes don't particularly Leggi tutto
