Summary "Der Hirtenknabe Nikolas; oder, Der deutsche Kinderkreuzzug im Jahre 1212" by Leopold Schefer is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative centers around the German Children's Crusade of 1212, following characters that juxtapose themes of innocence, ambition, and the complex socio-political climate of the era. The story likely explores the fervor and folly of the youthful crusaders while interweaving personal stories of friendship and conflict. The opening of the novel introduces three riders traveling towards Cologne, depicting their camaraderie and differing backgrounds as they traverse the landscape. They encounter a vibrant procession of children preparing for the crusade, who are full of fervent hope and naïveté, passionately singing for divine intervention. Amidst this hopeful chaos, a Jewish doctor observes, pondering the ramifications of such fervor. The scene sets the stage for an exploration of themes related to faith, ambition, and the consequences of misguided zeal, emphasizing the intersection of personal and collective struggles within a tumultuous historical context.
