Storia del pirata col mal di denti e del drago senza fuoco

Story of the pirate with a toothache and the fireless dragon

A classically paced choral story, featuring two retired pirates travelling through the Forest of Orcum in search of the tooth-pulling dragon.
Many bizarre encounters and an unexpected chain of kaleidoscopic and amusing misadventures. A modern Gulliver that mocks men and their nonsense.

Panciagialla and Copecoperso are two old pirates who together looted ships and ruled the seas, but now they retired. The boatswain Copecoperso is suffering from a terrible toothache and is so hungry that he dreams of turtle soup – which is not at all pleasing to Genoveffa, Panciagialla’s turtle, who follows him everywhere! The boatswain’s only hope is to be cured by Anselm, a dragon who has lost his breath of fire and has thus turned into a dentist.

It is because of a toothache that the two mischievous pirates embark on an adventurous journey into the Orcum Forest, where they come across a quick-witted gorilla, a baseball-loving skunk and a lion on crutches. With each encounter, a bizarre and unlikely company of outcasts forms, but together they have the strength of a small army. And, after battling with the fearsome ogres, they will take on the worst species of all, the know-it-all bipeds, who think they know best, but don’t even know how to board!

牙疼海盗与喷不出火的龙

这是一个有很多人物的故事，节奏经典，仿佛一个当代的“小格列佛”，在字里行间（但也不算太隐晦！）嘲讽着人类及其种种荒唐之举。

“黄肚皮”和“蒙面侠”是两位曾经一起劫掠商船、称霸海上的老海盗，如今都已“退休”。大副——“蒙面侠”正被一场剧烈的牙疼折磨着，同时又饿得厉害，一心梦想着喝一碗海龟汤……而这可让日内薇芙——“黄肚皮”那只形影不离的吉祥物大为不满！这位大副唯一的希望，就是能得到安塞尔莫的医治：这是一条多年前就已喷不出火的龙，因此转行当起了牙医。正是为了这颗坏牙，两个衣衫褴褛的老海盗，踏上了一段穿越“奥库姆森林”的艰险旅程，途中遇到了一只妙语连珠的大猩猩，一只痴迷棒球的臭鼬，还有一头拄着拐杖的狮子。在与凶悍的食人魔大战一场之后，他们又将矛头对准了最糟糕的一种生物，那些自以为无所不知的“两脚兽”，他们自认比谁都懂得多，却连一次像样的登船劫掠都做不到！
