His Simplicissimus (The Adventuresome Simplicius Simplicissimus; 1669), a picaresque romance, is often called the first German biographical novel. Immediately successful, by virtue of its vigor, humor, and realistic characterizations, it gave rise to numerous “Simpliciades,” many by Grimmelshausen writing under a pseudonym. [ eng ] |

German novelist, whose Simplicissimus series is one of the masterworks of his country's literature. Satirical and
partially autobiographical, it is a matchless social picture of the often grotesque Thirty Years' War (1618-48).
