Title: Prince Otto, a Romance
Credits: Transcribed from the 1905 edition by David Price
Summary: “Prince Otto, a Romance” by Robert Louis Stevenson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Prince Otto Johann Friedrich of the fictitious principality of Grunewald, whose character is depicted as flawed and largely incompetent in his royal duties. The narrative unfolds in a richly described European landscape, exploring themes of love, political intrigue, and the responsibilities that come with power. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the setting of Grunewald and the troubled character of Prince Otto, who is seen engaging in a hunt—an activity emblematic of his frivolous lifestyle. The opening chapters depict Otto's tumultuous relationship with his subjects and the displeasure they harbor towards him, especially concerning his wife’s rumored indiscretions and his own lack of accountability. The reader is also presented with a hint of political unrest, as discussions of revolution and discontent amongst the populace weigh heavily on the prince's mind. Stevenson crafts a narrative that promises both adventure and introspection as we follow Otto's journey to reconcile his personal failings and his public image against the backdrop of a shifting political landscape.
