戦狼 in short
The Warwolf follows one family and one village through the Thirty Years' War. Harm Wulf begins as a cheerful heath farmer in love with his wife. When soldiers destroy his world, he becomes a hard, tireless leader of peasants who defend their marsh with ambush, trial and the rope.
What 戦狼 is about
What would it take to make a man who laughs at everything stop laughing? In The Warwolf, Harm Wulf is a young farmer on the Lüneburg Heath who whistles a silly tune while he plows, adores his wife Rose, and bounces his small son on his knee. Then the Thirty Years' War reaches his village.
Hermann Löns wrote this novel about farmers who must defend themselves because no lord or army will. You get a story of ambush and revenge, but also of marriage, children, harvests and a chapel built in the marsh, told in a plain, earthy voice full of proverbs, songs and weather.
対象読者. You will love this book if you enjoy tales of peasants standing up to armies, vivid nature writing, folk songs and proverbs, and stories where humor and grim justice share the page.
The story in 10 parts
Key idea 1 · free to read
The Wulf family laughs through every century
The book opens long before the war, when the heath is empty and wild. Settlers build lonely farmhouses with painted wooden horse heads on the gable. The Wulf farm sits last, where the marsh begins, with wolves and bears for neighbors. The Wulfs like that, and the wilder things get, the louder they laugh.
Löns tells their history in quick, sly strokes. A Wulf son helps destroy the Roman general Varus, and Wulfs die fighting the armies of Charlemagne. When resistance is hopeless, the heath folk pay rent and accept baptism, but inwardly they stay what they were. The Wulf farm keeps its freedom because of an old charter.
So when Harm Wulf appears in 1623, the reader already knows what lies in his blood. His family motto of cheerfulness is not softness, because centuries of hardship have tested it. The Wulfs laugh because they are strong, and the war will try that strength.
