Till Eulenspiegel Erich Kästner Till Eulenspiegel Erich Kästner Till Eulenspiegel war wohl einer der größten und seltsamsten Clowns aller Zeiten. Denn er trat nicht im Zirkus auf, sondern mitten im richtigen Leben, weil er es vorzog, über andere zu lachen statt selber ausgelacht zu werden. Von den vielen Geschichten über Till Eulenspiegel hat Erich Kästner zwölf ausgewählt. Und wie es sich gehört, fängt er beim Erzählen mit dem Anfang an, mit der Taufe. Gleich dreimal getauft - und was zuviel ist, ist zuviel! - zeigt Till früh, was einmal aus ihm werden wird: ein Schelm, der seinesgleichen sucht. Mit den ausdrucksstarken und originellen Illustrationen von Walter Trier kann man nicht nur lesen, sondern auch sehen, wie Eulenspiegel sich als Kind gleich dreimal taufen lassen muß, wie er zum Seiltänzer wird, einem Esel das Lesen beibringt, von Ort zu Ort zieht, sich immer wieder als Handwerksgeselle ausgibt, obwohl er vom Schneidern, Backen oder Zimmerhandwerk keine Ahnung hat, und bald berühmt und berüchtigt wird wegen all dem Unfug, den er immer wieder anstellt, um die Menschen -- aber vor allem sich selber -- zum Lachen zu bringen.

From Reader Review Till Eulenspiegel for online ebook leynes says One of the best I read in elementary school. It's always so fun to look back on what I've read as a child.

Manybooks says While Erich Kästner's Till Eulenspiegel is child-friendly, chatty, as well as indeed much fun and entertaining, and certainly does to a point present the general German lore associated with the actual historical figure of Till Eulenspiegel as the vagabond and jokester he reportedly always was (as an individual who clearly and obviously enjoyed nothing better than engaging in pranks, practical jokes, wordplays etc.) I do have to personally admit being more than a bit disappointed with and by Erich Kästner's story as a whole (or rather with and by his 1938 adaptation and retelling of the Till Eulenspiegel tradition). For one, I have found ever since I read Hermann Bote's original 15th century Till Eulenspiegel in 1993 for university (with its wickedly funny and scathing satires, with its at times weirdly scatological humour and main protagonist Till Eulenspiegel acting as both trickster and wise fool and as such always being considerably more intelligent and insightful than society in general) that nearly ALL of the more child friendly adaptations of the Eulenspiegel thematic and lore I have read since then are rather frustratingly and sadly pale and lifeless in comparison (and this also includes Erich Kästner's Till Eulenspiegel which while I did love this as a child, when my grandparents read some of the diverse anecdotes to me, I now consider more than somewhat tedious, much too sedate and not really ever satirical enough for my own literary and reading tastes). And for two, I also and personally do consider it more than a bit problematic that Erich Kästner keeps describing Till Eulenspiegel as being akin to a circus clown, when at least in my opinion (and actually if one looks at Till Eulenspeigel historically and from a folkloric point of view) he has at least in my opinion NEVER been considered a typical circus clown but more akin to a jester, a travelling trickster, what in Germany one would call a "Narr" and I really do wish that Kästner had chosen to still label his Eulenspiegel as this in his retellings, in his Till Eulenspiegel (even if he might have had to use a footnote in order to explain the historical and literary significances of what jesters tended to be and represent). Combined with the fact that in many of the featured anecdotes of Erich Kästner's Till Eulenspiegel, the satirical and society criticising, condemning and punishing wise fool Till Eulenspiegel of tradition (or at least of Hermann Bote's tradition) is sadly much much too often replaced by the author with a person, a character exuding and engaging in maliciousness and nastiness simply for its own sake, that the satire and societal criticisms present in Bote's original folk-book on Eulenspiegel often seem to morph with Kästner's retelling and adaptation more into just a typical collection of anecdotes about a rather nasty, curmudgeonly, often trickily vicious and unlikable by nature individual, I have really not at all enjoyed reading (or rather revisiting) Till Eulenspiegel and can (especially considering how much I have truly and heartily loved and appreciated Hermann Bote's 15th century Till Eulenspiegel) only now consider two stars at best (a high two stars to be sure, but two stars just the same) for Erich Kästner's Eulenspiegel retellings.

Sometimes I feel that Erich Kästner is the german version of Thorbjørn Egner in Norway. Till Eulenspiegel is a national icon in the german culture, and it is way more accessible to the younger audiences than the Grimm brothers fairytales. A light read. Nikki says Molto divertente, ironico, e con qualche piccola perla di saggezza. Till ne combina davvero di tutti i colori... Se avete almeno un livello base di tedesco, ve lo consiglio!
