# Florante

_Versión castellana del poema tagalo con un ensayo crítico_

By Francisco Balagtas.

"Florante" by Francisco Balagtas is an epic poem written in 1838. Set in Albania, it follows the noble Florante, who returns from his studies in Athens only to face betrayal, imprisonment, and exile. Bound to a tree in the forest, he encounters Aladin, a banished Persian prince with his own tale of love and loss. Their intertwined stories explore themes of jealousy, loyalty, and redemption as both men fight to reunite with their beloved women and restore justice to their kingdoms.
