Very good. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Not much is known of Johann von Grimmelshausen, but he is to the German novel what Daniel Defoe is to the English. This tale follows on from his first great work "Simplicius Simplicissimus" and observes the progress of Courage the gipsy-woman whom Simplicius marries in that first book. "Mother Courage" has a string of marriages left in her wake which form the basis of this picaresque novel: in each encounter and marriage, she displays her ubiquitous virtues of courage (of course), beauty, intelligence and enterprise; the tales may be scurrilous and risque, but Courage is open and forthright in giving the reader her views and motivations. Bertolt Brecht took the title of his play "Mother Courage and Her Children" from this work, along with the fiery nature of its protagonist, but that is where the appropriation and homage ends.
