A masterpiece of the German Enlightenment, Wieland’s Don Silvio alternates between the intoxication of a mythical rococo and the sobriety of reason. Steeped in the world of fairy tales, this extravagant novel mixes genres while wittily critiquing superstition and dogmatism, as well as the status of fiction.
