Knox), "a superb rendering" (W.R. Johnson), "a wonderful detailed liveliness in every line" (Robert Fagles), "loyalty to tone as well as text" (G.S. Fraser, Partisan Review), "comes closer to the impossible goal of perfection than any of the numerous efforts that have poured out of British & American presses since World War II (William S. Anderson). This HANDSOME trade paperback issue of the deluxe Bi-Millennial Edition (orig. 1982) of Virgil's epic poem, recounting the wanderings of Aeneas & his companions after the fall of Troy, contains a new Preface by Allen Mandelbaum & the addition of 14 powerful illustrations created especially for this volume by Barry Moser. Professor Mandelbaum has also provided a 60-page glossary for this edition, identifying the gods, demigods, mortals, people & places of the Aeneid, & his Bibliographical Note offers suggestions for further reading & study under the headings of commentaries, early lives of Virgil, secondary works & bibliographies. Unquestionably one of the great masterpieces of world literature, Mandelbaum's translation of Publius Vergilius Maro's classic Latin work embodies both the grave tread & the speed & angularity Virgil can summon - the asymmetrical thrust of a mind on the move. Mandelbaum is singularly successful in preserving something of the strangeness & originality that Latin critics found in Virgil's use of language, & he is admirably faithful to the succession of imagery by which Virgil presents his scenes. In his Introduction Professor Mandelbaum discusses 3 obstacles that delayed his full encounter w/ the Aeneid & relates to his debt to Dante & Giuseppe Ungaretti (to whom he inscribes his translation). These words of Ungaretti were often w/ Mandelbaum: "Perennial beauty . . . assumed in my mind the aspect of Aeneas. Aeneas is beauty, youth, ingenuousness ever in search of a promised land, where, in the contemplated, fleeting beauty, his own beauty smiles and enchants. But it is not the myth of Narcissus: it is the animating union of the life of memory, of fantasy speculation, of the life of the mind; & it is, too, the fecund union of the carnal life in the long succession of generations." * ABOUT THE TRANSATOR: Allen Mandelbaum, poet-scholar, teacher, & translator, is among the most distinguished translators of Ovid, Virgil, Dante, & other classic texts. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & packages this fine book w/ our greatest elegance & care for FREE shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL within the United States & its territories or via USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below cost fee w/ shipping to all international destinations via USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL at our posted rates.
