The Orlando Innamorato
Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_Innamorato
Produced by Kathleen Ethington
"The Orlando Innamorato" by Matteo Maria Boiardo is an epic poem translated into prose, likely written in the early 16th century. The narrative unfolds in a fantastical realm where themes of chivalry, romance, and valor are intertwined with the complex interactions of its characters, particularly the noble knight Orlando and the enchanting princess Angelica. The tale is dense with courtly intrigue and battlefield exploits, invoking the vibrant tradition of medieval romance. At the start of the story, the stage is set with the powerful King Gradasso planning an invasion of France to obtain the prized weapons belonging to Orlando and Rinaldo. Meanwhile, Charlemagne is hosting a grand feast, which invites advanced tensions among the knights vying for the affections of Angelica, who stirs a mix of admiration and rivalry among them. Rinaldo’s disgruntlement with his perceived lower status ignites further conflict. The narrative introduces various colorful characters, including the vigilant magician Malagigi, and hints at deeper machinations as Angelica's arrival announces both romantic pursuits and dangerous challenges that will unfold through the intertwining destinies of the protagonists.
