About this book
A skull said to be kept in a metal casket at the Ehrenbreitstein fortress gives Mór Jókai his narrator. In the preface he imagines it telling the story of a man who confessed to twenty-one sins yet was condemned for breaking a military rule. The tale opens in 1688, when French forces besiege Coblentz and a gunner named Hugo commands the battery in the Montalembert Tower. Fourteen parts then range from robber caves and a monastery to Templars, a ship, Bengal, pirates and a witch gathering, in S. E. Boggs's translation of 1908.
