Set in the duchy of Württemberg from 1580 to 1800, the narrative explores intriguing episodes of village life through a state investigation into local events. It features a diverse cast, including peasants resisting church rituals, a self-proclaimed prophet with angelic encounters, a young witch, a paranoid pastor, a murder mystery, and the bizarre live burial of a bull. The book vividly captures the complexities and eccentricities of rural society during this historical period.
