«Dafnis y Cloe» is the pastoral novel by Longus of Lesbos, published by Círculo de Lectores in a hardback edition in Spanish.
Set in an idyllic, rural setting, the work tells the story of two young lovers, Daphnis and Chloe, and their sentimental education in love. Considered the first pastoral novel in Western literature, it combines prose of poetic flavour with a gentle fiction, in which the adolescent couple experience adventures in search of their union.

Recommended for readers interested in the classics of ancient Greek literature and in love stories that have marked the Western literary tradition.
Longus, sometimes Longos, was the author of an ancient Greek novel or romance, Daphnis and Chloe. Nothing is known of his life; it is assumed that he lived on the isle of Lesbos during the 2nd century AD.
