does anyone on here even know about simplicissimus?
Its a great, weird, brutal, honest and funny story, written a few hundred years ago.
are there even translations from german? has anyone read both the english and german version? how horrible is the english translation?
do you think that its the best book of the 17th century?
ive never even met anyone that knew this book.

Know about it? Sure, but haven't read.
>are there even translations from german?
Of course
If you feel there's something strange about it being so unknown I can't explain it but what other long stories from the 17th c do you know about?

I am not studying literature or anything I just picked it up in the libary one day.
It just seemed so obscure and kind of like a hidden book.
it would also be cool to know how they translated "Knan" and the other weird words.
