The author did a very good job in rewriting this old German folk tale into a nicer narrative that flows well and adds to the story overall.

This is a great read. This is the second or third time that I have read it, this time on Kindle. There are a lot of words in this novel that the Collins dictionary could not look up, and so many fell to Duden German-German dictionary.

I received an English version of Karbat from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I found this story very intriguing. Karbat, a Black Magic Apprentice. It is a great story.

Great novel with a richness in language and ideas that make it a worthwhile and quick read. The language might be a bit of a challenge for non-native speakers, but they will be rewarded.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget Harry Potter!
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2005
Südsachsen, im Land der Wenden, 17.Jahrhundert. Der Waisenjunge Krabat hört in den Rauhnächten immer wieder im Traum die Worte „Komm nach Schwarzkollm in die Mühle, es wird nicht dein Schaden sein." Er fragt sich also zu dieser Mühle durch, bemerkt wohl, dass die Einheimischen erschrocken auf seine Frage reagieren, dennoch geht er zur Mühle und verdingt sich beim Müller als Lehrjunge. In der Mühle geht es nicht ganz mit rechten Dingen zu, das bemerkt er bald. Und nach drei Monaten, am Karfreitag, beginnt seine Ausbildung in der schwarzen Magie, zusammen mit den elf anderen Müllerburschen. Der Altgeselle Tonda wird sein Freund und hilft ihm, so oft er kann, doch in der Silvesternacht stirbt er plötzlich. Kurz darauf ist schon ein neuer Lehrling da und nimmt Tondas Platz ein. Krabat hält die Augen offen und kommt allmählich dem dunklen Geheimnis der Mühle im Koselbruch auf die Spur, und am Ende wagt er es, den Meister herauszufordern und die Freiheit für sich, seine Freundin und die anderen elf Gesellen zu verlangen. Kein einfaches Unterfangen, und wenn's misslingt, wartet auf Krabat Fürchterliches...

In "Krabat" greift Preußler auf alte wendische und böhmische Märchen und Sagen zurück (Preußer stammt selbst aus Böhmen) und verwebt sie zu einer ganz eigenen, spannenden Geschichte, vielleicht zu einer seiner besten überhaupt. Die Geschichte beruht auf alten Teufels- und Hexenmythen, die eine Grundstruktur aus Angst und Grusel bilden, doch tatsächlich geht es um Freundschaft und Liebe, um Treue, Weisheit und Mut. "Krabat" vereinigt Merkmale von Abenteuergeschichten und Märchen in sich; die Geschichte ist spannend, sprachlich/stilistisch gelungen und stimmig. Preußler setzt nicht auf Knalleffekte, sondern er lässt eine ganz eigenartige, mitunter gruslige Atmosphäre wirken -- und nicht nur in dieser Hinsicht unterscheidet "Krabat" sich wohltuend von z.B. den Harry-Potter-Romanen, die den Leser oft nur durch immer neue, spektakuläre Wundertüten an sich binden können.

Ein Kinderbuch freilich ist "Krabat" nicht, es ist eher für Erwachsene und Jugendliche ab elf oder zwölf Jahren geschrieben.

5.0 out of 5 stars Une histoire envoûtante
Reviewed in France on August 11, 2016

J'ai adoré cette histoire. L'apprenti sorcier Krabbat nous entraîne dans une atmosphère lugubre et le suspens nous tient en haleine jusqu'à la fin du roman.
Un petit plus par rapport à Harry Potter, par exemple, ce roman est situé dans un contexte historique bien précis: on y découvre la Saxe du temps de la Guerre de 30 ans.

This is a wonderful, wonderful book. I loved it since I was a child and the other day we were talking over the 30 year war in Germany and it came back to my mind. Decided to buy it and I was not disappointed - the story is beautiful, Preusslers writing style is using old German vocabulary... It is one of the best books I have ever read and suitable for children of late primary school age.
