Krabat (German: [ˈkʁaːbat] ⓘ) is a 1971 fantasy novel about the eponymous Sorbian folk hero, written by Otfried Preußler. The book deals primarily with black magic and the lure of evil. Other themes include friendship, love, and death.
Krabat & the Sorcerer’s Mill was one of Cornelia Funke’s most beloved books as a child, and it is easy to see why. It is a wondrous story of magic, black and white; of courage and cunning; and of high adventure. Paperback 256 pages Age range: 8-12 NYRB Kids, 2024 Originally published in 1971 5.25 x 0.64 x 7.58 inches ISBN 9781681377919 ...
Krabat, a beggar boy in early 18th century Lusatia, is lured to become an apprentice to an evil, one-eyed sorcerer. Together with a number of other boys, he works at the sorcerer's mill under slave-like conditions while learning black magic, such as guising himself as a raven and other animals.
Nov 10, 1971 · Krabat, however, slowly realizes that milling is not the only thing that happens at the mill. The old miller is actually a sorcerer who formed a pact with the devil and must sacrifice one of the apprentices each year in order to stay in the devil's good graces and keep his enormous magical powers.

Nov 1, 2014 · As Krabat matures—which at the sorcerer’s mill happens at triple the usual speed, with three years somehow passing in one—he begins, with slowly dawning horror, to understand the vile system that operates under the Master’s tutelage.
