- Summary:
- This delightful picaresque tale is a classic of German Romantic literature. Despaired of by his father and impatient with his lot, a young man hears the enticing call of life on the road. Leaving his home and all that he knows, he embarks on a journey in search of adventure and glory. One day enjoying fortune and plenty, the next at the mercy of villains and rogues, his is a life of chance and wonder that, despite its strange twists and turns, ultimately leads him to his heart's desire. Primarily a lyrical poet, Joseph von Eichendorff is a key figure in Germany's literary heritage.
