Dimitri Leue | Inge Paulussen | Jonas Leemans & Wannes Cappelle - ELEGAST

**…True history and all true…** **May I tell you, listen closely** That is how Karel ende Elegast begins, and it is immediately clear that the writer wants you to believe him. He emphasizes the authenticity of the story, asks for permission to tell it, and commands you to listen. Entire essays have been written about those two verses alone. In total, there are 1419 verses, enough for a Wikipedia-sized text analysis. **Een Vlaamse classic full of food for thought gets new life!** “I want to know who you are, and where you are riding to at this hour, and what your father's name is. And whether you, as a child, ever had a bunny that pooped square droppings?” An angel gives Keizer Karel the task at night to go steal. Thus begins the adventure of the king with the beautiful beard. An edifying story about loyalty, trust, and honorable behavior. Wannes Cappelle, Jonas Leemans, Dimitri Leue, and Inge Paulussen pump new blood into the medieval version.
