Frank Schätzing - "Helden"

In the organizer's words:

HELDEN, Schätzing's new great medieval novel, has barely been published and has already entered the bestseller lists, and fans can look forward to an extraordinary stage show: Schätzing brings his heroes to life! A leap back in time to a strange world that was far less dark and far more exciting than many imagine. And a uniquely deep look into the author's imagination, soul and workshop.

With a completely new adventure, HELDEN follows on congenially from the previous novel and world bestseller DEATH AND THE DEVIL. There is a reunion with beloved protagonists and you get to know fascinating newcomers. The audience is catapulted into an age of epochal upheaval, and once again Jacop the Fox is in the wrong place at the wrong time. In the middle of crisis-ridden 13th century Europe, he finds himself caught between the fronts of the English Civil War, hunted by rebellious barons and the terrifying mercenary leader Muirgheal with her ghostly hosts. And the power struggles are also raging at home in Cologne...

Frank Schätzing's HEROES tour leaves the classic reading far behind - with a large-format screen show and interaction with his charismatic heroes Jacop, the dyer Richmodis, the blonde witch Muirgheal, the rebel Simon de Montfort and many more. Schätzing's tour is therefore not only a must for his fans, but will also - even without prior knowledge of DEATHAND THE DEVIL - delight anyone who has a soft spot for historical thrillers, fantasy and visually stunning screen events!

"It is an immense pleasure to swim with him (Schätzing). Even if you often get the feeling that you're going under, you'll surface again and again and marvel at the sparkle of the spray." Welt am Sonntag

"Schätzing would not be Schätzing if he did not succeed in combining the popular knowledge ... of the Middle Ages with the pop culture of today." FAZ
