Virgil, The Aeneid.

Condition : very good, as new.

With his translations of Homer's classic poems, Robert Fagles has given new life to the leading works of the Western canon and has become one of the most prominent translators of our time. His latest achievement completes the magnificent triptych of Western epics. A vast story of arms and heroism, "The Aeneid" follows the adventures of Aeneas as he flees the ashes of Troy and embarks on a tortuous journey to Italy to fulfill his destiny as founder of the Roman people. Retaining all the gravity and humanity of the original, this powerful blend of poetry and myth remains as relevant today as when it was written.
