The Aeneid: Virgil (Everyman's Library CLASSICS)

Good read

I purchased this book in the Everyman's Library Classics Edition.The Everyman's Library Classics Edition books are, in my opinion, the best quality books available in the price-range.They are quality bound; with acid-free paper, dust jacket, and ribbon page marker.There are also a great range of authors available in this collection; and they are very reasonably priced.

Of course you have to listen to the Iliad and the Odessy before you listen to the Aeniad or it won't make sense. But as they are poetry they should be heard by a good actor and not read - they are too difficult to read and do not come to life - but audio books are wonderful for the car, plane or bedtime! Especially good for educating children into the world of classics without tears.

This is utterly brilliant, and the wonderful cast includes Toby Stephens as Aeneas. It reminds me of Andrew Rissik's 3-part BBC radio drama, "Troy" - and why on earth haven't they released that on audio? DOH!

I love the Fitzgerald translations of classic works and this is no exception. Also the quality of the book including the smooth pages and nice print also make this a very nice edition.

badly drawn, but informative...if you do not read latin, this is helpful...

A splendid edition of the classic text intelligently translated and quite immediate. The production value of the book itself is of course excellent in keeping with the Everyman's Library series as a whole. Recommended.
