Daniel Kehlmann transports the medieval legend of the trickster Tyll Ulenspiegel to the 17th century in an enchanting work of magical realism, macabre humor, and rollicking adventure.
Tyll, a boy from a quiet village, becomes a juggler and jester, forging his own path through a world devastated by the Thirty Years’ War. Evading witch-hunters, escaping a collapsed mine outside a besieged city, and entertaining the exiled King and Queen of Bohemia, his story is both riveting and a tribute to the power of art amid brutality.
Translated from German by Ross Benjamin.
