{"product_id":"tyll-a-novel-1","title":"Tyll: A Novel","description":"The New York Times BEST HISTORICAL FICTION OF THE YEAR\nThe Guardian's BEST FICTION OF THE YEAR\nThrillist's BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR\n\nDaniel Kehlmann, author of The Director, 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.\n\nTyll 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.\n\nThe result is both a riveting story and a moving tribute to the power of art in the face of the senseless brutality of history.\n\nTranslated from the German by Ross Benjamin\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0525562729\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0525562729.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kehlmann, Daniel|Benjamin, Ross\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
