Product Description:
This book contains two of Virgil's most revered poems, translated into English for easy reading. This thrift edition comes at a great price and includes the complete unabridged translation of both the Eclogues and the Georgics by James Rhoades. The Eclogues is the story of simple shepherds struggling with unrequited love while tending their flocks amid the civil war following Julius Caesar's assassination. The Georgics rejoices in Italy and the country's beauty, values of rustic piety, pleasures of family life, and the vitality of the Italian people. Two great poems in one handy book. 100 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel
