Inside the wake of the breakout successes of Walter Moers' The 13½ Lives of Captain Bluebear, Rumo & His Miraculous Adventures, and The City of Thinking Books, Moers is back with this fourth booklet, the tumultuous story of just a little young man and his encounter with Death. Moers bases his utterly wonderful report on 21 woodcuts by the inimitable Gustave Doré, the most successful illustrator of the 19th hundred years. In a global between legend and dream, A Wild Ride Through the Nights identifies the exhilarating and comic travels of 12-year-old Gustave, a young man who aspires to one day be a great artist. When a disaster at sea places Gustave in the uncompromising hands of Death, he has the choice to give up the ghost or take on a series of six impossible duties. Gustave embarks over a peculiar and perilous trip where he must save a princess from an furious dragon, yank a tooth from by far the most Monstrous of most Monsters, fly within the moon, and even, somehow, meet his own do it yourself. Will Gustave's imagination and imagination have the ability to save him from his destiny?
