SUPERB: WITTY: ENERGETIC: PLAYFUL: SERIOUS: SOMBRE: EFFORTLESSLY READABLE: NEW Stated First Trade Paperback Edition (Orig. 2011) First Printing, NEW handsomely-designed color-illustrated laminated cover w/ sharp AS-NEW edges & corners, IMPECCABLE smooth-cut text-block exterior, NEW uncreased perfect binding, PRISTINE interior handsomely printed w/ EXCEPTIONAL clarity on EXCELLENT unblemished archival paper w/ Canto headings & w/ stanzas numbered in left margins, Glossary of Names (pp 659-672) SUPERB presentation of extensive endnotes & other scholarly apparatus (pp 523-594) & Index (pp 595-601) * 5.74" x 9.24" x 1.62", 0.92 kg, xii+602 (614) pp * .0.92 kg, xiv+672 (686) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: The appearance of David R. Slavitt's translation of Orlando Furioso ("Mad Orlando"), one of the great literary achievements of the Italian Renaissance, is a publishing event. With this lively new verse translation, Slavitt introduces readers to Ariosto's now neglected masterpiece: a poem whose impact on Western literature can scarcely be exaggerated. It was a major influence on Spenser's "Faerie Queene". William Shakespeare borrowed one of its plots. Voltaire called it the equal of the "Iliad", the "Odyssey", & "Don Quixote" combined. More recently, Italo Calvino drew inspiration from it. Borges was a fan. Now, through translations of generous selections from this longest of all major European poems, Slavitt brings the poem to life in ways previous translators have not. At the heart of Ariosto's romance are Orlando's unrequited love for the pagan princess Angelica & his jealous rage when she elopes. The action takes place against a besieged Paris, as Charlemagne & his Christian paladins defend the city against the Saracen king. The poem, however, obeys no geography or rules but its own, as the story moves by whim from Japan to the Hebrides to the moon; it includes such imaginary creatures as the hippogriff & a sea monster called the orc. Orlando Furioso is Dante's medieval universe turned upside down & made comic. Characterized by satire, parody, & irony, the poem celebrates a new humanistic Renaissance conception of man in an utterly fantastical world. Slavitt's translation captures the energy, comedy, & great fun of Ariosto's Italian. HIGHEST PRAISE: "[Slavitt's] translation is witty, energetic, playful, outrageous, yet serious & sombre too. Crucially, it is effortlessly readable." -Doireann Lalor, TLS -- "In David R. Slavitt's exuberant new version, 'Orlando Furioso' (1532) makes for quite wonderful seasonal entertainment. Slavitt's easygoing, colloquial approach possesses a lightness & brio, a sweet playfulness touched w/ irony that carries the reader effortlessly, happily along . . . Ariosto's irresistible masterpiece effortlessly blends chivalry, love & magic. Think of it as a knightly soap opera, complete w/ cliff-hangers, erotic intrigue & one melodramatic improbability after another . . . The whole book is clever & fun." -Michael Dirda, The Washington Post * ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR: DAVID R. SLAVITT is a poet & the translator of more than ninety works of fiction, poetry, & drama.
