Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:7040757
Original Description:
This book is thought, by the translator, to be the first English translation of a German book by the mysterious 17th century writer Johann von Grimmelshausen.  Published in 1669 it follows the bawdy exploits of a young woman through the period of the 30 Years War in Germany as she masquerades as a soldier (chopping off the head of one assailant with one blow of her sword), has as many lusty encounters with as many men as she is able to handle, marries a few of them, falls on hard ...times, rises to the position of a rich woman and ends as a happy gypsy. There are 24 short chapters each with a head piece by Fritz Wegner (reproductions of scraperboard prints). The book is in excellent condition. The slipcase is also excellent. You will have to read the book to discover how she got the nickname "Mother Courage".
