Galatea by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
"Galatea" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a pastoral romance published in 1585. The story follows two best friends, Elicio and Erastro, who both love the same woman, Galatea, yet vow to preserve their friendship. As they journey to a wedding, they encounter other shepherds and travelers who share their own tales of love, rivalry, and loss. Structured as a vehicle for Cervantes' poetry, the work blends intertwining romantic subplots with verses
in various Spanish and Italian styles, exploring themes of friendship, desire, and the contrasts between rural and urban life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
