Es gibt in der antiken Literatur keine schönere Liebesgeschichte als diese: Daphnis und Chloe wachsen als Findelkinder auf der Insel Lesvos im Ägäischen Meer auf. Sie hüten dort die Ziegen, leben bei ihren Pflegeeltern, wachsen allmählich heran. Chloe fühlt sich von Daphnis angezogen, aber recht verstehen können beide nicht, was ihnen geschieht. Dann wird die Insel von Piraten heimgesucht, Chloe entführt. Wird Daphnis seine Freundin retten können? Der antike Liebes- und Abenteuerroman hat bis heute unzählige Leserinnen und Leser entzückt, war Vorlage für Gemälde, Opern und Filme. Eine buchkünstlerische und literarische Wiederentdeckung! In der Insel-Bücherei erscheint der Text mit den zauberhaften Illustrationen der großen Tierbildhauerin Renée Sintenis.
