E-text prepared by Delphine Lettau, Jan Coburn, Charles Franks, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Der Mann im Mond" by Wilhelm Hauff is a novel written during the early 19th century. The narrative unfolds around a ball in the town of Freilingen, introducing various characters, among whom the prominent figure is Ida, the charming daughter of the local president. The story delicately explores themes of love and societal expectations, setting the stage for romantic intrigues. At the start of the novel, we find ourselves on a stormy November evening as the town prepares for a royal ball. Despite the harsh weather, the excitement is palpable as carriages vie for entry to the illuminated museum where the event is hosted. The ball is particularly anticipated because of the stunning transformation of Ida, who, after a few years away, has returned more beautiful and poised than ever. However, there is an air of mystery introduced by a foreign gentleman, Emile, Comte de Martiniz, who stands aloof at the ball, instantly capturing Ida's interest. As various social interactions unfold amid the festivities, the characters' connections, emotional conflicts, and the complexity of love begin to unravel, foreshadowing the deeper narrative layers that will emerge as the story progresses.
