内容简介

One of the greatest epic poems of the Italian Renaissance, Orlando Furioso is an intricate tale of love and enchantment set at the time of the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne's conflict with the Moors. When Count Orlando returns to France from Cathay with the captive Angelica as his prize, her beauty soon inspires his cousin Rinaldo to challenge him to a duel - but during their battle, Angelica escapes from both knights on horseback and begins a desperate quest for freedom. This dazzling kaleidoscope of fabulous adventures, sorcery and romance has inspired generations of writers - including Spenser and Shakespeare - with its depiction of a fantastical world of magic rings, flying horses, sinister wizardry and barbaric splendour.

作者简介

鲁多维奇·亚利欧斯多（1474—1533）是十六世纪意大利著名诗人。他因父亲早逝，不得不放弃在文学领域的兴趣和发展，转而从事公职，以负担家计。然而，他仍然穷毕生之力，以诗文体完成了这部脍炙人口的传奇，不负自己在创作方面的天赋。《疯狂奥兰多》是以法国中世纪名诗《罗兰之歌》为蓝本，再参考数百年间诸多诗人对查理曼大帝及其勇士的歌咏，融合而成此一格局恢弘的传奇诗篇。亚利欧斯多从1506年开始创作，1516年第一次出版，之后不断大幅修改增减，于1532年定稿，前后共历二十六载始成。
