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. \u003cbr\u003eThe result is both a riveting story and a moving tribute to the power of art in the face of the senseless brutality of history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTranslated from the German by Ross Benjamin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDANIEL KEHLMANN\u003c\/b\u003e's works have won the Candide Prize, the Hölderlin Prize, the Kleist Prize, the Welt Literature Prize, and the Thomas Mann Prize.
