Talk:Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
@ Simplicius Simplicissimus: "loses himself in some Robinson Crusoe story" is really superficial: The protagonist retreats from the machinations of the world, which he perceives to be utterly corrupt, in order to become a hermit.
@ Der teutsche Michel: "of no interest" is a bit stark; after all, the phrase "deutscher Michel" has become a commonplace expression to denounce a German national stereotype: a square petty bourgeois Biedermeier Rip Van Winkle type of personality.
