| Summary | "Lips Tullian und seine Raubgenossen" by Ernst Frei is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around the infamous brigand Lips Tullian and his band of robbers, whose exploits terrorized regions of Saxony, Bohemia, and Silesia in the early 18th century. The narrative delves into themes of vengeance, survival, and the allure of a life of crime, presenting a complex character whose descent into criminality is driven by personal loss and societal injustice. The opening of the story introduces a lively tavern scene on the Silesian-Polish border, where patrons recount terrifying tales of the notorious robber chief known as the "Black Wenzel" and his band of criminals. Among the lively debates about the bandits' supposed mystical powers to become invisible, a young man in fine attire, determined and expressive about his grievances with society, resolves to join these men of ill-repute in their life of crime. As he commits his first act of violence and theft, he fully embraces his new identity as Lips Tullian, signaling the start of a harrowing journey into the criminal underworld. The narrative quickly establishes the tension between his past as a wronged man and his aggressive future in crime, foreshadowing the challenges he will face in his quest for power and revenge.
