# Max und Moritz: Eine Bubengeschichte in sieben Streichen

By Wilhelm Busch.

"Max und Moritz: Eine Bubengeschichte in sieben Streichen" by Wilhelm Busch is an illustrated story published in October 1865. Two mischievous boys wreak havoc on their village through a series of pranks targeting unsuspecting residents. From the widow Bolte and her chickens to the teacher Lämpel and his pipe, Max and Moritz spare no one their cruel tricks. This darkly humorous tale, which surpassed even Struwwelpeter in its harshness, became one of the best-selling children's books and introduced phrases that became part of everyday German speech.
