Vergil

A biography of Vergil, Rome’s greatest poet, by the acclaimed translator of the Aeneid “Ms. Ruden has converted the writer of the Aeneid from a noble and stodgy ‘ancient’ into our contemporary . . . persuasively re-imagined [as] a sympathetic, three-dimensional figure. . . . The existence of the Aeneid is cause for gratitude. So is Ms. Ruden’s sensitive, celebratory portrait of its maker.”—Willard Spiegelman, Wall Street Journal The Aeneid stands as a towering work of Classical Roman literature and a gripping dramatization of the best and worst of human nature. In the process of creating this epic poem, Vergil (70–19 BCE) became the world’s first media celebrity, a living legend. But the real Vergil is a shadowy figure; we know that he was born into a modest rural family, that he led a private and solitary life, and that, in spite of poor health and unusual emotional vulnerabilities, he worked tirelessly to achieve exquisite new effects in verse. Vergil’s most famous work, the

Vergils Aeneide

En af litteraturhistoriens største klassikere skrevet af den romerske digter Vergil – nu i ny udgave med nyt omslag og udgivet sammen med ledsageren. Til alle med interesse for romerriget og det moderne Europas fødsel, storhed og fald. Vergils Aenide er den episke fortælling om den trojanske helt, Aeneas, og hans flugt til Italien efter Trojas fald. Undervejs udsættes han for mange trængsler og farlige eventyr, herunder fristelserne hos Karthagos skønne dronning Dido, før han med sine mænd og sin søn når til latinernes land, hvor han drømmer om at skabe et rige for sit folk. Et rige, som kan bestå. Bogens betydning for Europa kan ikke undervurderes: Den har formet den romerske selvforståelse helt op til middelalderen, renæssancen, barokken – og stadig den dag i dag, skal man gå til Vergil og hans totusindårige digt, hvis man vil forstå Europas historie. Det er en fortælling om storhed og fald, lidelse og pligt, skæbne og krig. Om livet som indvandrer og drømmen om at finde et nyt

Translating Virgil

Virgil remains one of the most important poets in the history of literature. This emerges in the rich translation history of his poems. Hardly a European language exists into which at least one of his poems has not been translated, from Basque to Ukrainian and Dutch to Turkish. Susanna Braund's book is the first synthesis and analysis of this history. It asks when, where, why, by whom, for whom and how Virgil's poems were translated into a range of languages. Chronologically it spans the eleventh- and twelfth-century adaptations of the Aeneid down to present-day translation activity, in which women are better represented than in earlier eras. The book makes a major contribution to western intellectual history. It challenges classicists and other literary scholars to reassess the features of Virgil's poems to which the translators respond and offers a treasure-trove of insights to translation theorists and classicists alike.
