QR code
"Il pastor fido in lingua napolitana" by Battista Guarini is a pastoral tragicomedy originally published in 1590. Set in Arcadia, the play weaves together stories of reluctant love and divine curses. To lift an ancient punishment requiring yearly sacrifice, two young people of godly descent must wed. But hearts prove wayward: a hunter scorns romance until he wounds his pursuer, while a faithful shepherd loves a woman promised to another. Elaborate schemes,
mistaken identities, and last-minute revelations drive this tale toward its resolution, exploring themes of devotion and destiny. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
