Summary "Dafnis y Cloe; leyendas del antiguo Oriente (fragmentos)" by Juan Valera and Longus is a classic pastoral novel written in the late 19th century. This work revolves around the themes of love and nature, following the lives of two protagonists, Dafnis and Cloe, who experience a pure and innocent romance against the backdrop of a pastoral setting. Valera’s translation aims to make this ancient story accessible and enjoyable to contemporary readers, suggesting that it has lasting appeal beyond its historical context. The opening of "Dafnis y Cloe" introduces us to the enchanting world of Lesbos, highlighting its pastoral beauty and the serene lifestyle of its inhabitants. Dafnis and Cloe, raised separately by kind shepherds after being abandoned as infants, develop a deep bond characterized by childlike innocence and wonder. As they grow up, they engage in playful activities and form a pure affection for each other, unknowingly falling in love. The narrative opens with vivid descriptions of their encounters in nature, their reverence for the divine spirits of the land, and the early stirrings of desire that mark the beginning of their enchanting journey together.
