A. Willys is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores a tumultuous period during the late Middle Ages, focusing on the conflict between the Swiss Confederation and Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. The main characters include three heroes: Hans Vögeli, Heinrich Vögeli, and Walter Irmy, who embody the spirit of Swiss rebellion and patriotism against oppressive foreign rule. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the bustling city of Basle, where a lively group of citizens is headed toward Saint Jacob’s Day celebrations. The narrative unfolds through a conversation between two burghers, Hans Irmy and Ulrich Iseli, discussing the historical grievances against France and the intrigues of Charles the Bold. As the story progresses, the elder Irmy reflects on his past experiences during a significant battle, setting the stage for themes of courage, honor, and the fight for freedom from external domination. The stage is thus set for a rich tale of adventure and national pride as the characters navigate the challenging dynamics of loyalty and conflict in their historical context.
