\u003cp\u003eOne of the pillars of the Western literary tradition, Vergil's \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c/i\u003e is also a terrific read: the story of a man whose city is destroyed in war, and of his journey to find his place in destiny. This epic has it all: adventures on the high seas, passion, battles, monsters, magic, meddling gods, and struggles that test the moral fiber of both men and women.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c/i\u003e has been deemed one of the most influential poems in world literature. And yet, a translation with wide appeal has been lacking\u0026mdash;until now. G. B. Cobbold joined with Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers to produce an \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c/i\u003e that gives the epic its due as the rousing and moving story that it is, while remaining true to the spirit of the Latin original. This an \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c/i\u003e like no other: a fresh, page-turning rendition that reads like a novel, but has the vividness of poetic language, with attractive and accessible reader aids. \u003cb\u003eCobbold's version has become a prized standard!\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCobbold's command of Latin and commitment to a strong narrative line have produced an \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c/i\u003efor everyone!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecial Features\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to the \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c/i\u003e and Vergil\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVivid novelistic rendition with sidebar running summaries and dynamic in-text illustrations\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMap of Aeneas' voyage\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlossary of characters\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily trees of main characters and gods\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook-by-book outline of the plot of the \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTimeline of significant events in Roman history\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReading group discussion questions\u003c/ul\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/p\u003e
