Book Reviews of Vergil's Aeneid: Hero War Humanity

Book Review: Action! Action! Read all about it!
Summary: 4 Stars

This translation of Vergil's epic is gripping! This version is important for it's expressive language and simplicity. It does not weight the reader down with obscure background, minute details, and lengthy accounts and presents the story in a way that can be read with excitement and immediate understanding. I enjoyed the little whimsical pictures which are on almost every page. This is a fun book to read for anyone interested in adventure narratives or the classical world. It could be particularly useful for a student reading the epic for the first time. Anyone would enjoy it for the intensity of the story itself.

Summary of Vergil's Aeneid: Hero War Humanity

Patrick Romane
Here the excitement, adventure, romance and glory of Vergil's classic emerge from a vigorous style and evocative prose.

Book Description
One of the pillars of Western literary tradition, Vergil s Aeneid is also a terrific read: the story of a man whose city is destroyed in war, and of his journey to find his place in destiny. This epic has it all: adventures on the high seas, passion, battles, monsters, magic, meddling gods, and struggles that test the moral fiber of both men and women. The Aeneid has been deemed one of the most influential poems in world literature. And yet, a translation with wide appeal has been lacking until now. G. B. Cobbold joined with Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers to produce an Aeneid that gives the epic its due as the rousing and moving story that it is, while remaining true to the spirit of the Latin original. This an Aeneid like no other: a fresh, page-turning rendition that reads like a novel, but has the vividness of poetic language, with attractive and accessible reader aids. Sure to become a prized standard!
