La croisade des enfants. German
Der Kinderkreuzzug
Produced by Jens Sadowski
"Der Kinderkreuzzug" by Marcel Schwob is a historical narrative written in the early 20th century. The book recounts a poignant episode from the past, specifically focusing on a misguided children's crusade in the medieval era, where thousands of children set off on an ill-fated journey to reclaim the Holy Land. Schwob's work blends elements of fantasy and reality, exploring themes of innocence, faith, and the tragic consequences of idealism. In this tale, the narrative unfolds through the perspectives of various characters, including a leper, a Goliard, and a papal figure, who observe the fervent yet naïve children as they embark on their quest for Jerusalem. Each character reflects on the innocence of the children and the folly of their journey, highlighting the stark realities they face. The children, driven by visions and voices, march along, holding makeshift crosses and calling for their savior, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Throughout the story, Schwob captures the bittersweet essence of childhood faith and the harsh truths of the world, ultimately illustrating the tragic fate that awaits these innocent souls.
