Thursday, September 25, 2025, “Der abenteuerliche Simplicissimus“ 

 

In the 17th century, Germany is ravaged by the seemingly endless Thirty Years' War. The “Abenteuerliche Simplicissimus” (Adventurous Simplicissimus), a social and war-critical satire in which the protagonist humorously copes with this brutal world, is considered the first German novel. “.. a literary and life monument of the rarest kind, colorful, wild, raw, amusing, enamored, and ragged...” Thomas Mann, 1944

With works by Michael Praetorius, Johann Schop, Samual Scheidt, Tobias Hume, and others.
