Book Overview
"Orlando Innamorato," Volume 1, presents Matteo Maria Boiardo's epic poem in a classic edition. This work, later revised by Francesco Berni, is a cornerstone of Italian Renaissance literature, weaving together chivalric romance, adventure, and fantasy. The poem centers on the heroic knight Orlando (Roland) and his pursuit of the beautiful Angelica, leading him and other knights through a series of fantastical quests and battles. Rich in imaginative episodes and colorful characters, "Orlando Innamorato" explores themes of love, honor, and the clash between Christian and pagan worlds. This edition offers readers a chance to engage with a foundational work that influenced later masterpieces like Ariosto's "Orlando Furioso."
