DESCRIPTION

The Aeneid

bA fresh and faithful translation of Vergil&#8217siAeneid/i restores the epic&#8217sspare language and

fast pace and sheds new light on one of the cornerstone narratives of Western culture./bb&#8220Viid

and haunting . . . a&nbspmodl of how to render Latin poetry in English.&#8221#8212Tom Holland, iNew

Statesman/i/bFor two thousand years, the epic tale of Aeneas&#8217sdramatic flight from Troy, his

doomed love affair with Dido, his descent into the underworld, and the bloody story behind the

establishment of Rome has electrified audiences around the world. In Vergil&#8217stelling,

Aeneas&#8217sheroic journey not only gave Romans and Italians a thrilling origin story, it established

many of the fundamental themes of Western life and literature&#8212th role of duty and self-sacrifice,

the place of love and passion in human life, the relationship between art and violence, the tension

between immigrant and indigenous people, and the way new foundations are so often built upon the

wreckage of those who came before. Throughout the course of Western history, the Aeneid has affirmed

our best and worst intentions and forced us to confront our deepest contradictions.Shadi Bartsch,

Guggenheim Laureate, award-winning translator, and chaired professor at the University of Chicago,

confronts the contradictions inherent in the text itself, illuminating the epic&#8217ssubversive approach

to storytelling. Even as Vergil writes the foundation myth for Rome, he seems to comment on this

tendency to mythologize our heroes and societies, and to gesture to the stories that get lost in the

mythmaking. Bartsch&#8217sgroundbreaking translation, brilliantly maintaining the brisk pace of

Vergil&#8217sLatin even as it offers readers a metrical line-by-line translation, provides a literary and

historical context to make the Aeneid resonant for a new generation of readers.
