EDITORIAL REVIEW

From the award-winning translator of The Iliad and The Odyssey comes a brilliant new translation of Virgil’s great epic

With his translations of Homer’s classic poems, Robert Fagles gave new life to seminal works of the Western canon and became one of the preeminent translators of our time. His latest achievement completes the magnificent triptych of Western epics. A sweeping story of arms and heroism, The Aeneid follows the adventures of Aeneas, who flees the ashes of Troy to embark upon a tortuous course that brings him to Italy and fulfills his destiny as founder of the Roman people. Retaining all of the gravitas and humanity of the original, this powerful blend of poetry and myth remains as relevant today as when it was first written.

GREAT SERVICE

My daughter needed this book for school ASAP and the book came to her in less time than indicated on the order allowing her extra time to benefit from it. As far as the actual book goes it was the ONLY translation her professor considers. Fabulous price too!

I haven't read the book yet. I have read "The Iliad" translated by Fagles and he is beyond great.

You can tell it's more recent than Homer, but still: what these classics are lacking is observation. It's all plot -- and don't forget, not much happened in the old days except sailing and feasting!

A masterpiece

A classic. This edition deepens our understanding and enjoyment of one of the greatest of all epic poems.
