The Aeneid of Virgil
A National Book Award Winner for verse translation by Allen Mandelbaum Aeneas flees the ashes of Troy to found the city
of Rome and change forever the course of the Western world--and of 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 fccling and the force of fate--that has influenced writers for more than two thousand years. Filledwith drama, passion, and the universal pathos that only a masterpiece can express, the Aeneid is a book for all time and all people.
