This book is based on legends and folk stories of the German folk hero Thyl Owlmirror. The story reflects the events during the Dutch Revolt against the Spanish empire. This 16th century epic is compared to the stories of Don Quixote and Robin Hood by popularity. The main character of the story Thyl Ulenspiegel is a happy-to-go prankster, born with uncanny wit and spirit of observation. From the very childhood he exposes the ugly sides of people with humor, sarcasm, and mischief. All the childhood and early years Thyl amuses his closest with witty prank and jokes. Yet, one day, the tragedy enters his home. His father got accused for heresy and burned in fire. This sad event transforms Thyl. Now, he grows up and becomes a national leader in the revolt against the Spanish dictatorship.

Аннотация
Nende kangelaslikud, lustlikud ja kuulsusrikkad seiklused Flandrias ja mujal Järelsõnast: Charles-Théodore-Henri de Costeri (1827-1879) ajaloolise romaani tegevus toimub Madalmaade rahva ülestõusu ajal 16. sajandil Hispaania ülemvõimu vastu. See on Euroopa ajaloo tähtsamaid sündmusi, esimene kodanlik revolutsioon, väljaastumine feodalismi vastu. Tänu dünastilise pärandamise mängule on rikkad Madalmaad sattunud Hispaania kuningate alla. Mida meelevaldsemaks kujuneb hispaanlaste valitsemine, seda enam suureneb vastupanu. Aluse opositsioonile paneb feodaalne kõrgaadel, kel pole südamel Madalmaade vabadus, vaid oma mõju säilitamine. Siis ilmub ajaloo näitelavale vaesunud kesk- ja väikeaadel, esitades juba üldisema tähtsusega poliitilisi nõudmisi. Ja lõpuks paneb end ajutiselt maksma rahvas, linnade kehvikud, kes liituvad revolutsiooniliseks liikumiseks. Kuningas kasutab aadli ja patritsiaadi hirmu sotsiaalse revolutsiooni ees. Aadlikud-vabameelitsejad suruvad rahvaliikumise veriselt maha, mispeale kuningliku karistusarmee ülem Alba asub masside toetusest ilma jäänud vabameelitsevate aadlike hävitamisele.
