Tell by Daniel Kelmen ... "A wandering artist, an actor, a singer, a clown, a jester, an instigator, mysterious, rebellious, and his handshake leaves a touch like Satan's, and his smile parts the clouds, he always watches you, and you do not see him when you turn to look, but your life will never be the same. He spent his childhood in an ordinary German village, trying to balance on any rope he saw, until he was forced to flee; because his father, who was a miller, alchemist, and seeker of the secrets of the world, got involved in a dispute with the Jesuits. He roams with the village baker's daughter, traverses villages deceiving death, and in battlefields runs faster than artillery shells, and practices his tricks in dark forests where goblins wander, and in his journey across the countries torn apart by the Thirty Years' War, he meets many: the writer Volkstein eager to learn about war up close, the depressed executioner Tielman, the acrobat Bermin, the talking donkey Origines, and the exiled Winter King and Queen: Friedrich the German and Liz the English, who were the direct cause of a war that changed Europe, and the poet-doctor Paul Flemming, insisting on writing poetry in primitive German that no one understands, the fanatic Tzizimond, and the wise dragon scholar Athenasius Kircher; whose fates all converge in that they once encountered that mysterious figure who one day decided she would not die, the hero of all ages: Tell Ollenchbgel."
