Written against a background of the Thirty Years' War and
firstpublished in 1669, this renowned picaresque classic recounts
withwonderful biting satire the vagabond adventures of a
not-so-simplesimpleton during one of Europe's fiercest, yet
ultimately most futilewars. Simplicius is an earthy character; he
humiliates the mighty, confounds the gods, ridicules the
pretentious. The translationuses the authoritative first edition
for its text, and though it hasbeen slightly abbreviated, no
essential passages have been sacrificed.This unexpurgated
translation reflects the linguistic turmoil andrichness of German
in the 17th century; it is ideal as the centrepiecefor courses in
German literature in translation and courses in theEuropean
Baroque.
