Sinopsis

Virgil?s Bucolics (1815) is a collection of ten pastoral poems written by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. These poems, also known as Eclogues, were written in the first century BC and are considered to be some of the finest examples of pastoral poetry in Western literature. The poems are set in the countryside and depict the lives of shepherds and their relationships with each other, their flocks, and the natural world. They explore themes of love, loss, nature, and the human condition. In this edition of the Bucolics, the translator has sought to capture the beauty and lyricism of Virgil?s original Latin text while also making the poems accessible to modern readers. The translation is accompanied by detailed notes and an introduction that provides historical and cultural context for the poems. Overall, Virgil?s Bucolics is a timeless work of literature that continues to inspire and delight readers with its vivid imagery, emotional depth, and timeless themes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
