"Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto is an epic poem published in its complete form in 1532. This sweeping tale unfolds during the war between Charlemagne's Christian paladins and invading Saracen forces. The story follows multiple interwoven plots: the knight Orlando's destructive descent into madness after his beloved Angelica elopes with another, and the romance between warrior Bradamante and Saracen Ruggiero. Featuring sorcerers, sea monsters, flying horses, and even a journey to the Moon, this vast work blends chivalric ideals with fantasy, humor, and tragedy.
