Reviews

[Fred R · Rating 5 out of 5]

Almost too beautiful, at times to obscurity. Landor is overfond of a couple notes (the evils of tyranny, for instance), but I forgive him everything. To watch Diogenes castigate Plato for preaching nonsense is a delight I had not imagined this world would offer me, and the romance between Aesop and Rhodope accumulates enormous force almost behind your back.
