Eine düstere, atmosphärische Geschichte eines Waisenjungen, der sich gegen einen Zaubermeister durchsetzen will. Es geht um Freundschaft, Liebe und darum, für sich und seine Träume zu kämpfen.
Mir hat es sehr gut gefallen. Preußler schafft es, eine unheimliche Stimmung zu schaffen und Spannung zu erzeugen.

I have finished “Krabat, Legend of the Satanic Mill” by Otfried Preussler. I read that book after my wife read it in the 80's and we watched the movie together in 2010. My wife was pregnant with our son when we watched the movie. My son has to read the book now. I took his offer to read the book at the same time. A Wendish orphan gets to a mill and begins an apprenticeship. But something is wicked and uncanny in that place. This is a story where friendship and love stand against a wicked master. The Novel is tragic and horrible but we also have comical situations. The writer enfolds a dark atmosphere and gives many hints. He reveals more and more details to the end. Besides you will see some famous people like the Strong August of Saxon. I enjoyed the novel.

A book my mother always talks about every now and then, apparently this has even been read to me to no avail! Years later and adult me finally has read this book in its Dutch translation. It is a magical place, and despite it being a children's book, it has a lot to offer to all ages. The book reads like a dark and twisted fairy tale, like you put dark tinted glasses over your cinderella like stories. It's mood and themes are very sombre, but it leaves you positively dreamy after the ride.
