Riassunto

In a world between legend and dream, in a tune between childhood and adulthood, Walter Moers describes the exhilarating and comic adventures of 12-year-old Gustave, a boy who aspires one day to be a great artist.
But before he can achieve this, Gustave must first pit himself against mysterious giants and a Siamese Twins Tornado; he also finds himself encountering the Most Monstrous of All Monsters, rescuing a beautiful damsel from the clutches of a dragon, traversing a forest swarming with evil spirits, navigating a Galactic Gully and meeting a dream princess, a talking horse, and even his own self.
Having made a wager with death for nothing less than his life and his soul, he must travel from the dream to the moon and back in a single night.
Using twenty-one drawings from the work of Gustave Dore, the most successful illustrator of the nineteenth century, Walter Moers has created a delightful tale.
