    Karl Wilhelm Salice-Contessa war ein schlesischer Dichter der Romantik. Er war einer der “Serapionsbrüder” um E. T. A. Hoffmann. Seine Stoffe nahm er oft aus den Sagen des Vorlands des Riesengebirges. Der junge Raimund lebt abgeschieden auf einer Burg im Gebirge. Als eines Tages ein Wanderer in der Burg übernachtet und von dem furchtbaren Schicksal des Königs berichtet, dessen Herz jede Nach von Schlangen benagt wird, sich jeden Tag wieder regeneriert um nachts erneut benagt zu werden, beschließt er, dem König Hilfe und Rettung zu bringen, was keinem Ritter bisher gelungen ist. Auf seiner Fahrt kommt er an seltsame Orte und trifft merkwürdige Wesen. Als er schließlich am Schloss des Königs ankommt, steht ihm ein schwerer Kampf bevor.

    The object of this volume is to excite interest in one of the greatest poems of English literature, which for all its greatness is but little read and known–to excite this interest not only in young persons who are not yet able to read “The Faerie Queene,” with its archaisms of language, its distant ways and habits of life and thought, its exquisite melodies that only a cultivated ear can catch and appreciate, but also in adults, who, not from the lack of ability, but because they shrink from a little effort, suffer the loss of such high and refined literary pleasure as the perusal of Spenser’s masterpiece can certainly give.
