Description
Daphnis and Chloe is a story of first love and self-discovery. In this beautifully translated edition, Longus weaves a fantasy that entertains and instructs, exploring the complexities of adolescence and the mysteries of love. As two young lovers navigate their desires and innocence, divine presences guide them towards the truth about love. With its richly detailed portrayal of peasant life and its celebration of revelry, music, dance, and storytelling, this ancient Greek romance has captivated readers for centuries. This new translation brings to life the humour and humanity of the story, making it a worthwhile read for anyone interested in classical literature or the early history of the novel.
