About This Book

A poetic stage-legend unfolds at a royal court where a princess has been kept hidden by a ruling father; her absence fuels rumor and longing among courtiers. A young nobleman returns as her consort yet resists showing her, provoking suspicion, while a magician and a pilgrim disturb the feast with rites and prophecies that threaten to expose the secret. Scenes move between ceremonial banquets, ritual incantation and encounters with uncanny figures — demons, a singer, and servants — as the drama examines concealment, honor, curiosity, and the tension between private truth and public spectacle.

[Transcriber's Note: After proofreading on PGDP-EU had been completed, the text has been compared to another eText version, based on the same edition of the book prepared by Marina Lukas for the »Projekt Jakob Wassermann«. This resulting eBook is thus believed to be free of transcription errors.

On page 40, Jfrids is possibly a misspelling for Ifrids. However, as the word is quite uncommon in German, I decided to stay true to the printed book and keep the original spelling.]
