Description

In the twilight of the early 1700s, a restless band of outlaws roams the borders of Saxony, Bohemia and Silesia, sowing fear and legend wherever they go. Their leader, a charismatic yet ruthless figure known as Lips Tullian, gathers a motley crew whose daring exploits become the talk of every tavern and village. The narrative opens in a noisy inn on the Polish‑Silesian frontier, where locals exchange hushed tales of the gang’s uncanny ability to vanish from soldiers’ grasp. This vivid tableau sets the stage for a chronicle that blends gritty adventure with a romantic, almost poetic, view of the outlaw world.

The story proceeds with Tullian’s fateful decision to turn to robbery, introducing his companions and the first daring raids that cement their notoriety. Rich, color‑tinted illustrations accompany the text, bringing the forest hideouts, secret caves and dramatic confrontations to life. Listeners will be drawn into a world of daring escapes, shifting loyalties, and the raw tension between law and lawlessness, all narrated with a lyrical flair that makes the era’s darkness feel both thrilling and strangely beautiful.
