More about the book
The narrative is often viewed as an autobiographical account, exploring themes of enchantment and servitude through the character of Peter and his relationship with the witch Lucinde, possibly referencing Johanna Keßler. It follows a romantic journey pattern reminiscent of Ludwig Tieck's works, with Wilhelm Busch skillfully blending traditional forms and motifs. The book parodies German Romantic themes and critiques its optimistic historical views, reflecting Busch's realistic perspective influenced by Schopenhauer and Darwin. Busch, a key figure in German humor, is recognized as a pioneer of comics.
