Bøger af Ludovico Ariosto

Ludovico Ariostos berømte ridderepos Orlando furioso (1516) så dagens lys for næsten 500 år siden. Det er et af renæssancens største digterværker og blev den første moderne bestseller på et folkesprog med 100.000 eksemplarer trykt inden 1580 i Italien alene, og med oversættelser til fransk i 1543, spansk i 1549 og engelsk i 1591. Orlando furioso er den dag i dag et hovedværk i verdenslitteraturen og har givet inspiration til ikke blot Shakespeare og Cervantes, men til hele det europæiske åndsliv. Dets motivverden – ridderlivets kærlighedshistorier og kampe på Karl den Stores tid – genfindes i operaer af bl.a. Lully, Händel, Vivaldi og Haydn, samt i billedkunstneriske fremstillinger af f.eks. Rubens, Ingres, Tiepolo og mange flere. Ariostos epos synger om »riddere og damer, elskov, våben, høviskhed og vrede« – og især om Roland og hans søgen efter den hedenske prinsesse Angelica, og hans vanvid, da han hører om hendes elskov med den unge saracener Medoro. Andre centrale handlingstråde er den ædle kvindelige kriger Bradamante og hendes kærlighed til saraceneren Ruggiero, og krigen mellem den kristne kejser Karl den Store (ca. 745–814) og den muslimske saracenerkonge fra Afrika, Agramante. Krigen kulminerer i slaget om Paris, hvor bl.a. Holger Danske er med. Digteren er selv til stede overalt og kommenterer løbende samtiden, krigene, hoflivet og kærligheden. Igennem sammenligninger og en altid nærværende ironi udfoldes middelalderens ridderstof til et billede på renæssancens dynamiske og modsætnings-fulde univers. Ariostos digt er fyldt med historier om magt, forræderi, heltemod og kærlighed som Shakespeares dramaer og illusionsløst som Machiavellis politiske skrifter. Den rasende Roland giver et omfattende udvalg af Ariostos hovedværk, oversat til dansk af Ida Høeg Jacobsen og professor em., dr.phil. John Pedersen. Bogen er forsynet med indledning, kommentarer og et fyldigt essay af lektor em. Lene Waage Petersen.

Orlando furioso (The Frenzy of Orlando, more literally Mad Orlando; in Italian furioso is seldom capitalized) is an Italian romantic epic by Ludovico Ariosto which has exerted a wide influence on later culture. The earliest version appeared in 1516, although the poem was not published in its complete form until 1532. Orlando Furioso is a continuation of Matteo Maria Boiardo's unfinished romance Orlando Innamorato ("Orlando in Love", published posthumously in 1495). The action takes place against the background of the war between, on the one side, Charlemagne and his Christian paladins, and, on the other side, the Saracen army which is attempting to invade Europe. However, Ariosto has little concern for historical or geographical accuracy, and the poem wanders at will from Japan to the Hebrides, as well as including many fantastical and magical elements, such as a trip to the moon and an array of fantastical creatures including a gigantic sea monster called the orc and the hippogriff. Many themes are interwoven in its complicated, episodic structure, but the most important plot is the paladin Orlando's unrequited love for the pagan princess Angelica, which develops into the madness of the title. After this comes the love between the female Christian warrior Bradamante and the Saracen Ruggiero, who are supposed to be the ancestors of Ariosto's patrons, the d'Este family of Ferrara. The poem is divided into forty-six cantos, each containing a variable number of eight-line stanzas in ottava rima (a rhyme scheme of abababcc). Ottava rima had been used in previous Italian romantic epics, including Luigi Pulci's Morgante and Boiardo's Orlando Innamorato. Ariosto's work is 38,736 lines long in total, making it one of the longest poems in European literature.

L'Orlando furioso (1516) è un poema cavalleresco che racconta le avventure del paladino Orlando, innamorato di Angelica, che impazzisce quando scopre che la sua amata ha una relazione con un altro uomo. L'opera ha una trama molto stratificata che si sviluppa sostanzialmente su tre narrazioniprincipali: quella militare, costituita dalla guerra tra i paladini, difensori della religione cristiana, e i lSaraceni infedeli; quella amorosa, incentrata sulla fuga di Angelica e sulla pazzia di Orlando, e infine quella encomiastica, con cui si lodava la grandezza dei duchi d'Este.Ludovico Ariosto (1474-1533) è stato un poeta italiano a cavallo tra il ‘400 e il ‘500. E’ considerato uno degli autori più celebri ed influenti del suo tempo. Le sue opere vengono studiate a scuola ancora oggi. Ludovico Ariosto visse come cortigiano presso potenti cardinali e successivamente presso la famiglia De Medici, che elogiò con la sua letteratura poetica e satirica.

One of the greatest epic poems of the Italian Renaissance, Orlando Furioso is an intricate tale of love and enchantment set at the time of the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne's conflict with the Moors. When Count Orlando returns to France from Cathay with the captive Angelica as his prize, her beauty soon inspires his cousin Rinaldo to challenge him to a duel - but during their battle, Angelica escapes from both knights on horseback and begins a desperate quest for freedom. This dazzling kaleidoscope of fabulous adventures, sorcery and romance has inspired generations of writers - including Spenser and Shakespeare - with its depiction of a fantastical world of magic rings, flying horses, sinister wizardry and barbaric splendour.

A dazzling kaleidoscope of adventures, ogres, monsters, barbaric splendor, and romance, this epic poem stands as one of the greatest works of the Italian Renaissance.

This I Tatti edition provides a newly collated Latin text and offers unique insight into the formation of one of the Renaissance's foremost vernacular writers.

This translation brings to English-speaking readers the brooding work of Ludovico Ariosto, a poet of the Italian Renaissance. The unfinished "Cinque Canti" are tragic in tone, depicting the disintegration of the chivalric world of Charlemagne and his knights.

With this lively new verse translation of one of the great literary achievements of the Italian Renaissance, Slavitt introduces readers to Ariosto's now-neglected masterpiece-a poem whose impact on Western literature can scarcely be exaggerated. Slavitt's translation captures the energy, comedy, and great fun of Ariosto's Italian.
