Daphnis & Chloe Daphnis Softcover Flexi Ultra Unl (Other) (ISBN-13: 9781439798218)

Inside the original 1910 version of this sumptuous binding laid one of the oldest and most effortlessly romantic stories ever written. The gilt and crushed blue levant morocco binding by ﾉmile-Philippe Mercier contained Jacques Amyot's French translation of the tale Daphnis and Chloe. The original story was composed by the second-century Greek author Longus, a little-known writer assumed to have been a freedman of a Roman family. Daphnis and Chloe were the fictional lovers against whom all others can be measured. Their story was the inspiration for one of contemporary cinema's most beloved films, The Princess Bride. Daphnis and Chloe were na?e lovers separated by pirate abductions and battles aplenty. But love prevails and in the end they are restored to pastoral, wedded bliss.
