Der Klosterjaeger: Roman aus dem XIV. Jahrhundert

In the high Alpine valleys where winter clings like a gray giant, the first breaths of spring roar in with wind, stone, and rushing water. The landscape is a restless chorus of thawing snow, cracking ice, and fierce storms that test every living thing. Amid this raw, ever‑shifting wilderness, a solitary figure moves through the melting alps, his steps echoing the ancient rhythm of the mountains.

Haymo, the monastery’s hunter, is a lean, hard‑won soldier of the forest. Clad in rough leather, a feather‑crowned cap, and armed with a stout arm‑bow and a hooked staff, he patrols the cliffs and meadows to guard the prized deer, chamois and ibex for the abbey. His days are spent in vigilant watch, never allowing a moment’s rest, while the harsh weather and prowling predators keep him on edge. As the season shifts, Haymo’s solitary trek becomes a delicate balance between protecting the sacred hunt and surviving the untamed forces of the high mountains.
