Celefon and Kalixtes fight a duel before Venus gives a speech about love at a feast in a novel by this man.
A character created by this author gives birth in a cave to a baby who is licked clean by a swarm of goats and loses her lover when a laurel branch snaps, causing the one-armed man to drown. Celefon and Kalixtes fight a duel before Venus gives a speech about love at a feast in a novel by this man. That novel's protagonist describes strangling his rival Jehoshaphat, revealing the affair of Angelica and Giovanni, and poisoning the hated Don (*) Ricardo and "il Toro." While working in a copper mine, another of his characters is shackled to a slave named Sahak, who carves "Christos Iesus" in the disk around his neck and inspires in him a desire to believe. The most famous character created by this author of The Sibyl serves in the court of "the Prince" in a nameless Italian city-state and is the twenty-six-inch-tall Piccolino. For 10 points, name this Nobel-winning Swedish author of Barabbas and The Dwarf.
