His handshake's like a pact with the devil, his smile like a crack in the clouds  he's watching you now and he's gone when you turn. Tyll Ulenspiegel is here!In a village like every other village in Germany, a scrawny boy balances on a rope between two trees.\r\n\r\n He's practising. He practises by the mill, by the blacksmiths  he practises in the forest at night, where the Cold Woman whispers and goblins roam. When he comes out, he will never be the same.\r\n\r\n   Tyll will escape the ordinary villages. In the mines he will defy death. On the battlefield he will run faster than cannonballs.\r\n\r\n In the courts he will trick the heads of state. As a travelling entertainer, his journey will take him across the land and into the heart of a never-ending war.   A prince's doomed acceptance of the Bohemian throne has European armies lurching brutally for dominion and now the Winter King casts a sunless pall.\r\n\r\n Between the quests of fat counts, witch-hunters and scheming queens, Tyll dances his mocking fugue  exposing the folly of kings and the wisdom of fools.   With macabre humour and moving humanity, Daniel Kehlmann lifts this legend from medieval German folklore and enters him on the stage of the Thirty Years' War. When citizens become the playthings of politics and puppetry, Tyll, in his demonic grace and his thirst for freedom, is the very spirit of rebellion - a cork in water, a laugh in the dark, a hero for all time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
