Description

In a forgotten corner of the old German forest lies the village of Fuxloh, a place where tangled firs and a lone, bitter pear tree mark a landscape as rugged as its people. Life here revolves around the cramped tavern, the endless wind that gnaws at throats, and a tradition of rough‑handed camaraderie among hunters and drinkers. The villagers, once notorious poachers and ruffians, have begun to shed their wild reputation, yet a single homestead clings to the old ways.

That homestead belongs to the Dullhäubel family, and its most infamous member, Kasper, carries on the legacy of trickery and daring exploits. With a jaunty hat, a pocket full of coins, and a talent for turning misfortune into profit, he weaves schemes that pit him against neighboring farms, soldiers, and even superstitious folk. Listeners are invited into a world of sly humor, rustic justice, and the timeless clash between survival and conscience.

Hans Watzlik

1879–1948

Known for stories rooted in the Bohemian Forest, this German-Bohemian writer drew on local landscape, folklore, and rural life to create fiction with a strong sense of place. His work was widely read in the first half of the 20th century, though his legacy is also complicated by political ties to the Nazi era.
