Reviews
"Fitzgerald's is so decisively the best modernAeneidthat it is unthinkable anyone will want to use any other version for a long time to come." New York Review of Books "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 . . . This is a sustained achievement of beauty and power." Boston Globe "In thisAeneidFitzgerald is at the top of his form . . . [One would] be a very insensitive reader if, once launched on Aeneas' fateful journey with Fitzgerald as guide, [one] does not follow it to the end." The New Republic "This is translation as interpretation, Virgil filtered through one of the finest poetic sensibilities of our time . . . Fitzgerald hides his consummate artistry, effaces his own prodigious labor, until the text speaks to us directly, without foreignness of time or place." The Boston Review With an Introduction by Philip Hardie, "Fitzgerald's is so decisively the best modern Aeneidthat 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 From the Trade Paperback edition., "Fitzgerald's is so decisively the best modern Aeneid that it is unthinkable anyone will want to use any other version for a long time to come."

Synopsis
In dramatic and narrative power, Virgil's Aeneid is the equal of its great Homeric predecessors, The Iliad and The Odyssey . It surpasses them, however, in the intense sympathy it displays for its human actors-a sympathy that makes events such as Aeneas's escape from Troy and search for a new homeland, the passion and the death of Dido, the defeat of Turnus, and the founding of Rome among the most memorable in literature. This celebrated translation by Robert Fitzgerald does full justice to the speed, clarity, and stately grandeur of the Roman Empire's most magnificent literary work of art.

    Fantastic! The book is in precisely the condition described, as far as I can tell, not a mark anywhere! Woohoo!! Double packed inside bubble wrap and an online retailer sack, shipped super fast and arrived prior to the anticipated date. I exchanged a couple of email with the seller and the dialogue was great. An excellent transaction, excellent seller, and a dynamite addition to my library. A+++++++
