"Orlando Furioso" by Lodovico Ariosto is an Italian epic poem published in its complete form in 1532. This sweeping tale unfolds against the backdrop of war between Charlemagne's Christian paladins and invading Saracen forces. The story weaves together multiple plots: the paladin Orlando's descent into madness after his unrequited love for Princess Angelica, the romance between warrior Bradamante and Saracen Ruggiero, and adventures spanning the entire world—even reaching the Moon. With knights,
sorcerers, and fantastic creatures, this epic blends romance, humor, and tragedy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
