<b><i>The New York Times</i> BEST HISTORICAL FICTION OF THE YEAR</b><br><b><i>The Guardian'</i>s BEST FICTION OF THE YEAR<br><i>Thrillist</i>'s BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR</b><br><br><b>Daniel Kehlmann, author of <i>The Director</i>, transports the medieval legend of the trickster Tyll Ulenspiegel to the seventeenth century in an enchanting work of magical realism, macabre humor, and rollicking adventure. </b><br><br>Tyll is a scrawny boy growing up in a quiet village until his father, a miller with a forbidden interest in alchemy and magic, is found out by the church. After Tyll flees with the baker’s daughter, he falls in with a traveling performer who teaches him his trade. As a juggler and a jester, Tyll forges 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 along the way.<br><br>The result is both a riveting story and a moving tribute to the power of art in the face of the senseless brutality of history. <br><br><i>Translated from the German by Ross Benjamin</i>
