Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Kept in a dungeon for his entire childhood, Kaspar Hauser appeared in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1828 at age 16, barely able to walk or talk. When he was killed in 1833, his true identity and the motives for his unsolved murder became the subjects of intense speculation. This provocative essay sheds new light on the mystery and delves into fundamental questions about the long-term effects of child abuse.
