We experience the Battle of Zusmarshausen, the last battle of the 30 year war on German soil. The horror of these events, however, does not speak to me in Kehlmann's words. An impressive peace of literature, however, are the scenes with the "winter king" Friedrich V. of Palatina, his wife Elizabeth Stuart and the Swedish king Gustav II. Adolf.
