It combines fantastic episodes with a realistic narrative style. \u003cbr\u003eAt the end of his original adventures his hero withdraws from the world to live as a hermit in the Black Forest. Now, after a vivid dream of the Devil and all his minions at work, he decides to become a pilgrim and visit the holy places, making his way, with various encounters, across Switzerland to Italy, where he takes passage on a ship to Egypt. Outside Cairo he is captured by Arab robbers who take him to the Red Sea, exhibiting him as a wild man from the desert. Rescued by European merchants, he embarks on a ship to return home via the Cape of Good Hope, but the ship is wrecked and, 50 years before Robinson Crusoe, he is marooned on a desert island.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dedalus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910213926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 4.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Johann Jakob Christoffel Grimmelshausen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52507583348917,"sku":"9781910213926","price":10.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5add1488-d81c-4cfe-90d1-192973e721ed.jpg?v=1778565943","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-continuation-of-simplicissimus-9781910213926","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
