Ostensibly a poetic guide to agriculture, it reflects the Rome's political travails leading up to the ascension of Augutus and the experience gained. With b/w illustrations by Nigel Lambourne. Bound in pleasing canvas cloth. Complete with slipcase. Some shelf-wear comensurate with age, else crisp and clean. Near fine.
Sinopsis
Virgil's glorious celebration of the natural world-brought vividly to life in a powerful new translation. Virgil 's Georgics is an extraordinary work and one of the greatest poems of the classical world. This new verse translation captures the rich beauty and abundant imagery of the original, recreating the ancient masterpiece for our times. "Georgic" means "to work the earth," and The Georgics combines practical wisdom on tending the land with exuberant eulogies to the rhythms of nature. From idyllic descriptions of hills strewn with wild berries in "vinespread autumn" to warnings of gods and natural disasters, it is at once a reflection on the cycles of life, death, and rebirth; an argument for the nobility of labor; and an impassioned reflection on the Roman empire.
