He is a traveling artist, actor, singer, acrobat, clown, provocateur, mysterious, and rebellious. His handshake has an effect like the touch of Satan, and his smile splits the clouds. He is always watching you, and you do not see him when you turn to him, but your life will never go back to what it was. He spent his childhood in an ordinary German village, trying to balance on any rope he saw, until he had to run away; Because his father, who was a miller, an alchemist, and a researcher of the mysteries of the world, was involved in a dispute with the Jesuits. He wanders with the daughter of the village baker. He roams the villages, deceiving death. On the battlefields, he runs faster than artillery shells. He plays his tricks in the dark forests where goblins roam. On his journey, in which he roams the country torn apart by the Thirty Years’ War, he meets many: the writer Falkenstein, who wants to get to know... The close-up war, the depressed executioner Thielmann, the juggler Pirmin, the talking donkey Origen, and the exiled King and Queen of Winter: Friedrich the German, and Lise the English, who were the direct cause of the outbreak of a war that changed Europe, and the physician-poet Paul Fleming, who insisted on writing poetry in primitive German that did not... Nobody understands it, the fanatic Tsimond, and the wise dragonologist Athanasius Kircher; Whose destinies all converge in that they one day met that mysterious character who one day decided that he would not die, the hero of all ages: Till Uhlenspiegel.
