The Aeneid of Virgil Summary
|
Aeneas flees the ashes of Troy to found the city of Rome and change forever the course of the Western world -- as literature as well. Virgil's Aeneid is as eternal as Rome itself, a sweeping epic of arms and heroism -- the searching portrait of a man caught between love and duty, human feeling and the force of fate -- that has influenced writers for over 2,000 years. Filled with drama, passion, and the universal pathos that only a masterpiece can express. The Aeneid is a book for all the time and all people. "Allen Mandelbaum has produced a living Aeneid, a version that is unmistakably poetry." "A brilliant translation; the only one since Dryden which reads like English verse and conveys some of the majesty and pathos of the original." "Mandelbaum has... given us a contemporary experience of the masterpiece, at last." |

| Aeneas, a Trojan warrior, searches for a new homeland after the fall of Troy. His journey becomes years of wandering. His tales of wars fought, cities built and burned, new kings, and struggling alliances spread the histories of heroes and their willingness to believe in their own resources and the miraculous help of the gods. Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher. The Microsoft eBook has a contents page linked to the chapter headings for easy navigation. The Adobe eBook has bookmarks at chapter headings and is printable up to two full copies per year. Both versions are text searchable. |
