If his wishes had been obeyed, western literature - and maybe even western civilization - might have taken a different course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aeneid has remained a key text of university courses since the rise of universities, and has been invoked at key points of human history - whether by Saint Augustine to illustrate the fallen nature of the soul, by settlers to justify manifest destiny in North America, or by Mussolini in support of his Fascist regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this fresh and fast-paced translation of the Aeneid, Shadi Bartsch brings the poem to the modern reader. Along with the translation, her introduction will guide the reader to a deeper understanding of the epic's enduring influence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virgil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45695577456687,"sku":"9781788162685","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/9781788162685.jpg?v=1785318914","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/the-aeneid-a-new-translation","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
