Krabat

Long ago, on a cold Twelfth Night, an orphaned boy wandered through a hostile landscape. His name was Krabat. He had no idea where his name had come from. He no longer remembered his mother or father, as if he had never had them at all. He belonged to those children who must grow up too quickly. Only sometimes, as he was falling asleep, did he hear gentle whispers and soothing words that reminded him of home. That is why he loved to sink into the safety of his own dreams. But one night he almost remained trapped in their allure forever. Suddenly, however, the familiar voices dissolved into the tremendous tension of something far stronger. His body and mind, as if pulled on strings, were driven by a force more powerful than a mother’s voice, until Krabat found himself at an old mill… They say everyone should avoid that place. Perhaps it is inhabited by black magic, and one thing is certain: nothing good awaits anyone there. What choice does a boy have?
