The Son of the Wilderness is a dramatic poem written by Friedrich Halm in 1848. It is divided into five acts and tells the story of a young man named Rudolf, who is raised in the wilderness by his father after his mother dies. Rudolf's father teaches him to be self-sufficient and to live off the land, but when his father dies, Rudolf is forced to enter society and confront the challenges of civilization.Throughout the play, Rudolf struggles to find his place in the world and to reconcile his wild upbringing with the expectations of society. He falls in love with a woman named Agnes, but their relationship is complicated by their different backgrounds and social status. Rudolf also faces opposition from a group of aristocrats who view him as a threat to their way of life.As the play progresses, Rudolf becomes increasingly disillusioned with society and begins to question whether he belongs there at all. He ultimately decides to return to the wilderness, where he feels most at home. The Son of the Wilderness is a powerful exploration of the tension between civilization and nature and the struggle to find one's place in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
