Recommended if the sentence, "I swear by the goats," said not an iota ironically, appeals to you.

In this delightful short tale from ancient Greece, in fact one of the oldest existing novels, Daphnis and Chloe are both foundlings raised by foster families in a pastoral community and spend their days tending their goats. As they come of age they find they are attracted to one another, but being complete innocents they aren't sure how to act on it. Luckily, fate and the gods ultimately come to the rescue!

I have to say it was a really amazing experience to read such an old work which, incredibly, has survived more or less intact for nearly 2000 years. This translation is surprisingly readable today, way more accessible than a lot of stiff and formal older works. And, it's a cute and heartwarming story to boot — highly recommended!… (mehr)

Inserta en la tradición bucólica griega, la novela -traducida y anotada por Jorge Bergua- narra el nacimiento y desarrollo del idilio entre dos adolescentes apasionados e ingenuos situados en un paisaje arcádico y pastoril, a la par que su iniciación y educación eróticas. Como apunta Carlos García Gual en el riguroso y ameno texto introductorio que aporta a este volumen, la novela de Longo De Lesbos guarda aún hoy «una extraña seducción, como la de un mito algo maravilloso y de sabor añejo, inverosímil e ingenuo dentro de su marco realista, y perfumado con un pertinaz y misterioso encanto».… (mehr)
