Hyperion

Hyperion is a novel of stirring lyricism, philosophical sublimity, and enduring influence. It stands among HÃ¶lderlinâ€™s most extraordinary achievements. A Greek hermit recounts the pivotal phases of his life, from his discovery of the vanished glory of antiquity, through his encounter with his beloved Diotima, who embodies his goal of merging with "the All of nature," to his participation in a Greek uprising against Ottoman Turkish tyranny. HÃ¶lderlinâ€™s sole novel has been celebrated for its musicality, the power of its cadences and tones to express a constant oscillation between extremes of grief and joy. Though HÃ¶lderlinâ€™s genius was not widely recognized during his lifetime, he has come to be regarded as one of the most significant and unique poets in the German language.
