«Dafnis y Cloe» is the Greek pastoral novel by Longus, published by Muchnik Editores in paperback (205 pages, in Spanish).
Set on the island of Lesbos, it tells the story of two abandoned children who grow up as shepherds in an idyllic rural setting. Daphnis and Chloe fall in love without knowing what love is: they wonder if it is a child or a bird and what its power is. It is a key work in the origins of the pastoral novel.
The work, written in the 2nd century AD, has the original title Δάφνις καὶ Χλόη. The translation from Greek is by Francisco J. Cuartero.
For those who enjoy classics of Greco-Latin literature and love stories with a rural and mythological background.
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.
