It is an ancient work, yet one that speaks to our times as powerfully as it did to the poets. This unmatched translation presents the poem in an American idiom that is elegant and sensitive to the meaning and rhythm of the original. Janet Lembke brings a faithful version of Virgils celebratory poem to modern readers who are interested in classic literature and who relish reading about animals and gardens.The word georgics means farming. Virgil was born to a farming family, and his poem gives specific instructions to Italian farmers along with a passionate message to care for the land and for the crops and animals that it sustains. The Georgics is also a heartfelt cry for returning farmers and their families to land they had lost through a series of dispiriting political events. It is often considered the most technically accomplished and beautiful of all of Virgils work. 410 0$aYale new classics. 517 3 $aGeorgics 606 $aDidactic poetry, Latin$vTranslations into English 606 $aAgriculture$vPoetry 615 0$aDidactic poetry, Latin 615 0$aAgriculture 676 $a873/.01 700 $aVirgil$0727867 701 $aLembke$b Janet$0186779 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810552903321 996 $aVirgil's Georgics$93995946 997 $aUNINA
