Bucolica et Georgica

En savoir plus sur le livre

Young students often focus their reading of Virgil primarily on the Aeneid, neglecting his other significant works. However, it can be asserted that nothing in the Aeneid, or indeed in Latin poetry, surpasses the artistic perfection found in the Georgics. These writings merit careful and loving study, with the First Book exemplifying nearly every literary and poetic excellence within just four hundred lines. The introduction and accompanying notes aim to highlight the chief merits of the Georgics, encouraging broader attention to the rich content they offer, which may not always be immediately apparent but awaits diligent exploration. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, and Forgotten Books employs advanced technology to digitally reconstruct the text while preserving its original format and repairing any imperfections. While some flaws from the original may remain, most are successfully addressed to maintain the integrity of these historical works.
