Grimmelshausen's novel is a landmark of 17th-century literature, the first German novel of world-class importance and one of the first great war novels of German literature. The dynamic narrative immerses the reader in the amazing adventures of the simple, but inquisitive and courageous Simplicius. His adventurous odyssey unfolds against the backdrop of the Thirty Years' War, continues with travels around the world and ends with a monastic Robinson Crusoe on a paradise island in the Indian Ocean. The experience of war, travels and losses reveals to the hero the contradictory nature of man, the variability of fortune and the chaotic nature of the world.
The publication offers the first full translation of the novel into Ukrainian and opens up one of the most remarkable monuments of European Baroque prose to the Ukrainian reader.
