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.

Alain Montandon professeur émérite de littérature générale et comparée à l'université Clermont Auvergne, membre honoraire de l'Institut universitaire de France, est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages. Parmi ses dernières publications : Dictionnaire du dandysme (Paris, 2016), Mélusine et Barbe-Bleue (Paris, 2018).
Premier roman moderne de la littérature allemande, Don Sylvio de Rosalva (1764) de Wieland, le « Voltaire de l'Allemagne », s'inspire de Cervantès comme de Lesage. Un jeune héros imagine vivre en féerie, transposant en imagination ses perceptions du réel et interprétant tout ce qui l'entoure suivant une rêverie (Schwärmerei) témoignant des dangers de la lecture. Ses amis entreprennent de le désenchanter en lui racontant le conte de Biribinker, merveilleuse et extravagante parodie rococo. Ce roman satirique, comique, picaresque et sentimental, chef d'oeuvre de l'Aufklärung, critique avec esprit la superstition et le dogmatisme, tout en amenant une réflexion sur l'imagination et le statut de la fiction.
