«Orlando Furioso» is the epic poem by Lodovico Ariosto, published by Lumen España in paperback, in Spanish.
An epic poem of the Italian Renaissance that narrates the adventures of Orlando and other knights in Charlemagne's war against the Saracens, with fantastical elements and an ironic tone that parodies chivalric romances.
The original work appeared in 1516; this Spanish-language edition was published in December 1992.
For readers interested in the classics of European literature and chivalric epics.
Ludovico Ariosto was an Italian poet. He is best known as the author of the romance epic Orlando Furioso (1516-1532). The poem, a continuation of Matteo Maria Boiardo's Orlando Innamorato, describes the adventures of Charlemagne, Orlando, and the Franks as they battle against the Saracens with diversions into many sideplots. The poem is transformed into a satire of the chivalric tradition. Ariosto composed the poem in the ottava rima rhyme scheme and introduced narrative commentary throughout the work.
