Since no one doesn't seem to be meant literally, 13 1/2 Leben des Kapitän Blaubär (13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear). It's a very humourous and arguably pretty absurd fantasy story, one of a handful of books I've actually read twice. Unfortunately I can't really say much about the English translation but if that's decent it should be very enjoyable to read.
Yeah I've certainly met people in Germany that knew it. Never heard anyone mention it in a US context, so I wanted to show some love.
Alles in Lot auf dem Boot?
