"The ashes of Claes beat against my heart." Thyl Ulenspiegel carries them in a little bag at his neck, all that is left of his father, a charcoal-burner of Damme burned alive by the Inquisition, and every prank and ambush that follows answers to them. Born on the same day as Philip II of Spain, Thyl starts out as the great joker of Flanders, the owl and the mirror of his own name, and grows into the wandering spirit of a people in revolt against the king who shares his birthday.
The ashes of Claes beat upon my breast.
The blurb, the gist, the why of the day and the work itself are in the app. The first button needs it on this device; the second gets it there.
