El Gran Bosque es un lugar misterioso. Algunos dicen que está habitado por seres vegetales y brujas del follaje, otros por un ser maligno. El caso es que, para evitar los problemas, la gente prefiere rodearlo antes que adentrarse en él. Ni siquiera los gusanos y las hormigas se atreven a entrar. Pero Osoazul hace caso omiso de estas advertencias y decide atravesar el bosque... Las nuevas aventuras de Osoazul siguen la pauta instaurada en Mi vida de pirata enano, donde se iniciaron las correrías de este simpático oso. A saber: una imaginación desbordante al servicio de una historia llena de giros sorprendentes y de personajes maravillosos de la mano de un autor que confía siempre en la inteligencia del lector juvenil. En esta ocasión, Osoazul deberá enfrentarse a los peligros del Gran Bosque, a un Agujero Dimensional, a viajes en el tiempo... y conocerá a nuevos personajes fantásticos y fascinantes.

Osoazul es un simpático osito azul perdido en medio del mar, sobre una cáscara de nuez. Cuando está a punto de ser arrastrado por un torbellino, unos seres muy particulares vienen a salvarlo. Se trata de un grupo de piratas enanos que lo acogen en su velero y le enseñan los fundamentos de supervivencia en alta mar. Pero Osoazul crece demasiado y pone en peligro al conjunto de la tripulación, y los piratas enanos deciden finalmente dejarlo en una isla poblada por espíritus duendes. Osoazul queda aterrado por estos duendes que, a falta de palabra, sólo saben reír siniestramente alrededor de él. Nuestro protagonista decide escapar de la isla y acaba de nuevo a la deriva, sobre una balsa. Así empiezan las fabulosas aventuras de Osoazul, que le llevarán a conocer personajes tan extraordinarios como una ballena de cuarenta y cinco metros cubierta de arpones, un pájaro «salvosaurios» de 3.000 años llamado Mac o un científico loco con siete cerebros. Visitará lugares tan sorprendentes como la isla de los Sibaritas, donde hay un río de leche con chocolate y todo tipo de exquisiteces colgando de los árboles...

Astonishingly inventive, amusing and engrossing, Rumo is a captivating story from the unique imagination of Walter Moers. Rumo is a little Wolperting who will one day become the greatest hero in the history of Zamonia. Armed with Dandelion, his talking sword, he fights his way across Overworld and Netherworld, two very different worlds chock-full of adventures, dangers, and unforgettable characters: including Rala, the beautiful girl Wolperting who cultivates a hazardous relationship with death; General Ticktock, the evil commander of the Copper Killers; Ushan DeLucca, the finest and most weather-sensitive swordsman in Zamonia; Professor Abdullah Nightingale, inventor of the Chest-of-Drawers Oracle; and, worse luck, the deadly Metal Maiden.

Optimus Yarnspinner, a young Zamonian writer, inherits very little from his beloved godfather apart from an unpublished short story by an unknown author. This manuscript proves to be such a superb piece of writing that he can't resist the temptation to investigate the mystery surrounding the author's identity. The trail takes him to the City of Dreaming Books. After falling under the spell of this book-obsessed metropolis; Yarnspinner also falls into the clutches of its evil genius, Pfistomel Smyke, who treacherously maroons him in the city's labyrinthine catacombs. He finds himself in a subterranean world where reading books can be genuinely dangerous, where ruthless Bookhunters fight to the death for literary gems and the mysterious Shadow King rules a murky realm populated by Booklings, one-eyed beings whose vast library includes live books equipped with teeth and claws. Walter Moers transports us to a magical world where reading is still a genuine adventure, where books can not only entertain people but also drive them insane or even kill them. Only those intrepid souls who are prepared to join Optimus Yarnspinner on his perilous journey should read this book. We wish the rest of you a long, safe, unutterably dull and boring life!

Captain Bluebear is a bear with blue fur, a creature as unique as the fantastic adventures he undergoes. Unlike cats, which have only nine lives, bluebears have twenty-seven. This is fortunate, because our hero is forever avoiding disaster by a paw's breadth. 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

In a world between legend and dream, in a time between childhood and adulthood, Walter Moers describes the exhilarating and comic adventures of Gustave, a boy who aspires one day to be a great artist.

Over two hundred years ago Bookholm, the City of Dreaming Books, was destroyed by a catastrophic firestorm. Optimus Yarnspinner, who witnessed this disaster, has since become Zamonia's greatest writer and is resting on his laurels at Lindworm Castle. Spoilt by his monumental success and basking in adulation, he one day receives a disturbing message that finally reinvests his life with meaning: a cryptic missive that lures him back to Bookholm. Rebuilt on a magnificent scale, the city is once more a vibrant literary metropolis and Mecca of the book trade teeming with book fanatics of all kinds. On the track of the mysterious letter that brought him there, Yarnspinner has scarcely set foot in the city before he falls prey to its spirit of adventure. He is reunited with old friends like Inazia Anazazi the Uggly and Ahmed ben Kibitzer the Nocturnomath, but he also encounters the city's new marvels, which include the mysterious Biblionauts, the warring Puppetists, and the city's latest craze, the Invisible Theatre. Yarnspinner strays ever deeper into the Labyrinth of Dreaming Books, which seems to wield a strange power over Bookholm's destinies. He is eventually drawn into an irresistible maelstrom of events far more sensational than any of the adventures he has previously embarked upon.
