Orlando Furioso 
By Ludovico Ariosto (1474 - 1533) 
Translated by John Harington (1561 - 1612) 


Charlemagne's nephew Orlando (AKA Roland) is driven insane by the 
infidelity of his beloved Angelica. Angelica's relationship with him and 
others loosely unifies multiple story lines to produce a rich tapestry of 
romance, fictionalized history, and pure fantasy. This romance-epic is a 
sequel to the less distinguished and unfinished romance Orlando 
Innamorato, by Mattteo Maria Boiardo. (Summary by Thomas A. 
Copeland) 


Read by Thomas A. Copeland; total running time: 28:25:01. Dedicated 
Proof-Listener: Jeanie. Meta-Coordinator/Cataloging: Availle.
