In 1828, a teenage boy appeared in the streets of Nuremberg, barely able to walk or speak. He carried a mysterious letter but had no memory of his past, no knowledge of the world, and no understanding of where he had come from. His name was Kaspar Hauser, and his sudden arrival became one of the most baffling mysteries in European history.

Was he a lost prince hidden away to protect a royal secret or an unfortunate orphan subjected to years of isolation? Was he the victim of a cruel experiment or a pawn in a political conspiracy? As scholars, scientists, and nobility tried to unravel his past, Kaspar's story only grew stranger, leading to an eerie and tragic ending that left more questions than answers.

This book explores the life, theories, and legacy of Kaspar Hauser, a boy without a past whose true identity remains an enigma.
