La Galatea

“Cervantes' first book, a pastoral romance in prose and verse. On the banks of the Tagus two shepherds, the courtly Elicio and the simple Erastro, love the fair Galatea and stay friends; around them other shepherds and wanderers tell their stories of love, murder, friendship and disdain — until Galatea's father promises her to a stranger, and the shepherds gather to stop it.”
