Beskrivelse
'A masterly achievement, a work of imaginative grandeur and complete artistic control' Ian McEwan
'Brilliant and unputdownable' Salman Rushdie
He's a trickster, a player, a jester. 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. 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.
Tyll will escape the ordinary villages. In the mines he will defy death. On the battlefield he will run faster than cannonballs. 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. 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.

Måtte stoppe ved 4 kapitel. Desværre et helt forkert valg af oplæser. Stemmen er for dyb og indtalt i stød, så man ikke kan holde ud at lytte til den. Synd for bogen og synd for for lytteren. Kan ikke anbefales.

Kehlmann er en blændende fortæller

Jeg er stoppet på halvvejen, irriteret over utydelig oplæsning med hæs, hviskende og uklar udtale. Synd for en sikkert udmærket bog.

Det er igen en stor sproglig fornøjelse af læse Kehlmann. Han er billedskabende og flydende i fortællingen, og han gør det nemt at leve sig ind i romanens personer. Samlet virker historien dog noget uforløst, og jeg sidder med oplevelsen af, at Kehlmann mere har givet mig billeder af nogle historiske nedslagspunkter inkl. en stor mængde historiske personer indsat i en ikke-historisk kontekst. Måske giver anden læsning mere klarhed i historien, men jeg har mine tvivl.
