Virgil
Aeneid
Aeneas flees the ashes of Troy to found Rome and change forever the course of the Western world - and literature as well. Virgil's Aeneid is as eternal as Rome itself, a sweeping epic of arms and heroism - the searching portrait of a man caught between love and duty, human feeling and the force of fate - that has influenced writers for over 2000 years. Filled with drama, passion, and the universal pathos that only a masterpiece can express, THE AENEID is a book for all time and all people.
