Krabat
My German has improved, and I felt compelled to reread this beautiful and poetic novel. First time round, I had to guess too many words; now I appreciated it properly.The simple and powerful story is divided into three books, one for each year of the action. The first book starts in midwinter. Krabat, a fourteen year old boy at the time of the Swedish war, is making a precarious living as a beggar when he has a series of strange dreams. They direct him to the mill at Koselbruch, where he finds

I read this book when i was about 14 yrs old or so. i remember this book being my first intriuging, magical suspence novel. The main character was a young boy (don't remeber his name) that had a dream of a mill, and ended up there, where he met with a wizzard. He then followed the wizzard to the mill (under some form of spell as i can recall). While there, he befriends an older boy, who helps him with the daunting tasks that the evil wizzard commands of him and the other boys. He also meets a

Krabat is an interesting character. Much like Frodo, he comes into the situation that changes his life rather innocently and without knowledge of what lie ahead of him. He
lovely novel. it's supposed to be for children but i will look suspiciously at a grown up who wont enjoy such prose.i'm not that much into wizarding world,but this book somehow tricked me in. its true that plot "young boy" against "dark lord" seems at times a bit annoying,but this story apart of certain cliches contains a delicate fragrance of the folk stories. you can literally feel the spirit of eastern germany,it's wendish (i actually had to google it,didnt know that there is a slavic

I'm not really much of a fantasy reader. I find it difficult to get into fantasy novels, especially those set in medieval places (it's kind of cliché), but The Satanic Mill is definitely a special case with its 16th Century German scene. By the way, don't be put off by the Satan thing in the title; this is not a book promoting Satanism or anything like that. This book is instead a powerful and unforgettable classic about avoiding darkness and finding the courage to escape something you know isMy German has improved, and I felt compelled to reread this beautiful and poetic novel.
