作者簡介
商品簡介
`Georgic' means `to work the earth', and Virgil's Georgics (29 BC) is a poetic celebration of the land, combining practical agricultural wisdom with exuberant fantasy and eulogies to the rhythms of nature. It describes hills strewn with wild berries, recommends watching the stars to determine when to plant seeds and gives guidance on making wine and keeping bees. Yet the Georgics also tells of angry gods, fierce battles and a natural world fraught with danger from storms, pests and plagues. At once a reflection on the cycles of life, death and rebirth, an argument for the nobility of labour and a passionate hymn to the Roman Empire of Virgil's times, the Georgics is one of the most extraordinary poems of the classical world.
Kimberly Johnson's lyrical verse translation captures all the lush beauty and abundant imagery of Virgil's original, preserving its dynamic structure and dramatic poetic effects. This edition also contains a chronology, further reading, notes, a glossary and an introduction discussing Virgil's life and the ambiguities and allusions in his work.

作者簡介
Virgil, born in 70 B.C., is best remembered for his masterpiece, The Aeneid. He earned great favor by portraying Augustus as a descendant of the half-god, half-man Aeneas. Although Virgil swore on his deathbed that The Aeneid was incomplete and unworthy, it has been considered one of the greatest works of Western literature for more than two thousand years.
