Tapio Riikonen "Unelma-elämä : Nelinäytöksinen näytelmäruno" by Franz Grillparzer is a four-act verse drama written in the early 19th century. The work dramatizes the temptations of ambition and the tension between dreamed glory and humble contentment, following the impetuous Rustan, his devoted Mirza, and the goading servant Zanga amid the courtly world of Samarkand and Princess Gülnare. It is a moral tale of self-fashioning, reputation, and conscience beneath the glitter of heroic deeds. The opening of the play shows Mirza anxiously awaiting the hunter Rustan at a mountain cottage, while her father Massud laments Rustan’s restless, glory-hungry spirit—stoked by the crafty Zanga. Returning defiant, Rustan resolves to leave despite their pleas; as night falls, music and a stage transformation carry him into a new scene near Samarkand, where he revels in “freedom” and opportunity. When a king is pursued by a giant serpent, a mysterious mountaineer actually slays the beast, but Rustan—prodded by Zanga—accepts the credit and wins the favor of the king and Princess Gülnare; later, fearing exposure, he fights the stranger on a bridge and stabs him, the man plunging into the river. As celebrations begin, news of a murdered body found by the water spreads; a mute old father seeks justice, the king’s suspicions stir, and an old crone presses a “remedy,” leaving Rustan cornered between his soaring fortunes and the consequences of his deed.
