Sarah Ruden, a lyric poet in her own right, renders the classic poem in the same number of lines as the original work-a very rare feat that maintains technical fidelity to the original without diminishing its emotional power. Ruden's translation follows Vergil's content faithfully, and the economy and fast pace she achieves are true to his own unflagging narrative force. With its central theme of national destiny versus. the destiny of individuals, the poem has great resonance in our own times, and Ruden adheres closely to the poet's message. Her rendering of Vergil's words gives immediacy to his struggling faith that history has beauty and purpose in spite of its pain. With this distinguished translation, modern readers can experience for themselves the timeless power of Vergil's masterpiece.Epic poetry, LatinTranslations into EnglishAeneas (Legendary character)PoetryLegendsRomePoetryEpic poetry, LatinAeneas (Legendary character)Legends873/.01Virgil727867Ruden Sarah1475400MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781197503321The Aeneid3689602UNINA
