Coinciding with the European Football Championships and a year after his death, Paul the Octopus returns in a novel just published as an e-book for KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing). "THE TRUE STORY OF PAUL THE OCTOPUS", by Luciano Minerva, is a novel which traces the life of the octopus who became a star with eight correct predictions on matches of the 2010 South Africa FIFA World Cup.

The author imagines the Octopus during his last days in his aquarium at Oberhausen, thinking of his two lives: the first as the human Lorenzo, a goalkeeper dubbed "The Octopus" because of his incredible skills; and the second as his reincarnation as the world-famous octopus clairvoyant. 

The Italian Edition has just been published on Amazon, and will be followed in short by the English and Spanish editions.
