Author Wieland, Christoph Martin, 1733-1813
Title Oberon
Credits This Etext prepared by Michael Pullen
Summary "Oberon" by Christoph Martin Wieland is a romantic epic poem written in the late 18th century. This intricate work employs elements of chivalry and fantasy, intertwining stories of knights, magical beings, and their adventures. At its center is the character of Hüon, a young knight on a quest, alongside themes of love and reconciliation, particularly involving Oberon, the king of fairies. The beginning of "Oberon" sets the stage for an enchanting tale steeped in magic and adventure. It introduces the reader to the legendary figure of Oberon, who has a unique connection to Hüon, as they navigate challenges imposed by the emperor. The opening describes Hüon's journey to Babylon on a noble yet perilous mission, framed by mystical elements, including the involvement of fairies and the trials of love. As Hüon embarks on his quest, a foreboding sense of the challenges he will face—both external and in his heart—begins to unfold, paving the way for a narrative rich in imagination and heroism.
