The Essential Aeneid

Stanley Lombardo's deft abridgment of his 2005 translation of the Aeneid preserves the arc and weight of Virgil's epic by presenting major books in their entirety and abridged books in extended passages seamlessly fitted together with narrative bridges. W. R. Johnson's Introduction, a shortened version of his masterly Introduction to that translation, will be welcomed by both beginning and seasoned students of the Aeneid , and by students of Roman history, classical mythology, and Western civilization.

Riassunto

Containing an Introduction that talks about the place of the "Aeneid" in Roman mythology, history, and literature, this abridgment of Stanley Lombardo's translation of Virgil's "Aeneid" is suitable for use in such courses as those surveys of Roman history or classical mythology in which time may not permit a reading of the epic in its entirety.
