Reviews
"Fitzgerald's is so decisively the best modern Aeneid that it is unthinkable that anyone will want to use any other version for a long time to come."-- New York Review of Books "From the beginning to the end of this English poem...the reader will find the same sure control of English rhythms, the same deft phrasing, and an energy which urges the eye onward."-- The New Republic "A rendering that is both marvelously readable and scrupulously faithful.... Fitzgerald has managed, by a sensitive use of faintly archaic vocabulary and a keen ear for sound and rhythm, to suggest the solemnity and the movement of Virgil's poetry as no previous translator has done (including Dryden).... This is a sustained achievement of beauty and power."-- Boston Globe

Synopsis
Robert Fagless translations of both the "Iliad" and "Odyssey" have sold hundreds of thousands of copies and become the standard translations of our era. Now, his stunning modern verse translation of Virgils "Aeneid" is poised to do the same. This beautifully produced edition of the "Aeneid" will be eagerly sought by readers desiring to complete their Fagles collectionand the attention it receives will stimulate even greater interest in his translations of the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey," BACKCOVER: Praise for Robert Fagless translation of the "Odyssey: " Wonderfully readable . . . just the right blend of sophistication and roughness, it seems to me. Ted Hughes A memorable achievement . . . Mr. Fagles has been remarkably successful in finding a style that is of our time and yet timeless. Richard Jenkyns, "The New York Times Book Review" Remarkably seductive . . . In Fagless hands, this perennial poem of adventure is again a work of entertainment, of majesty and epic beauty great enough to stun the senses. "The Philadelphia Inquirer", From the award-winning translator of The Iliad and The Odyssey comes a brilliant new translation of Virgil's great epic Fleeing the ashes of Troy, Aeneas, Achilles' mighty foe in the Iliad , begins an incredible journey to fulfill his destiny as the founder of Rome. His voyage will take him through stormy seas, entangle him in a tragic love affair, and lure him into the world of the dead itself--all the way tormented by the vengeful Juno, Queen of the Gods. Ultimately, he reaches the promised land of Italy where, after bloody battles and with high hopes, he founds what will become the Roman empire. An unsparing portrait of a man caught between love, duty, and fate, the Aeneid redefines passion, nobility, and courage for our times. Robert Fagles, whose acclaimed translations of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey were welcomed as major publishing events, brings the Aeneid to a new generation of readers, retaining all of the gravitas and humanity of the original Latin as well as its powerful blend of poetry and myth. Featuring an illuminating introduction to Virgil's world by esteemed scholar Bernard Knox, this volume lends a vibrant new voice to one of the seminal literary achievements of the ancient world.
