A remarkable achievement' TLSOn his deathbed in 19 BCE, Vergil asked that his epic, the Aeneid, be burned. If his wishes had been obeyed, western literature - maybe even western civilization - might have taken a different course.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Aeneid has remained a foundational text since the rise of universities, and has been invoked at key points of human history - whether by Saint Augustine to illustrate the fallen nature of the soul, by settlers to justify manifest destiny in North America, or by Mussolini in support of his Fascist regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this fresh and fast-paced translation of the Aeneid, Shadi Bartsch brings the poem to the modern reader. Along with the translation, her introduction will guide the reader to a deeper understanding of the epic's enduring influence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42589986750508,"sku":"9781788162685","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/products\/9781788162685.jpg?v=1707470404","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781788162685","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
