The Aeneid pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Virgil, born in 70 B.C., is best remembered for his masterpiece, The Aeneid. He earned great favor by portraying Augustus as a descendant of the half-god, half-man Aeneas. Although Virgil swore on his deathbed that The Aeneid was incomplete and unworthy, it has been considered one of the greatest works of Western literature for more than two thousand years.

Review
“A new and noble standard bearer . . . There’s a capriciousness to Fagles’s line well suited to this vast story’s ebb and flow.”
—The New York Times Book Review (front page review)
“Fagles’s new version of Virgil’s epic delicately melds the stately rhythms of the original to a contemporary cadence. . . . He illuminates the poem’s Homeric echoes while remaining faithful to Virgil’s distinctive voice.”
—The New Yorker
“Robert Fagles gives the full range of Virgil’s drama, grandeur, and pathos in vigorous, supple modern English. It is fitting that one of the great translators of The Iliad and The Odyssey in our times should also emerge as a surpassing translator of The Aeneid.”
—J. M. Coetzee
Book Description
From the award-winning translator of The Iliad and The Odyssey comes a brilliant new translation of Virgil’s great epic
With his translations of Homer’s classic poems, Robert Fagles gave new life to seminal works of the Western canon and became one of the preeminent translators of our time. His latest achievement completes the magnificent triptych of Western epics. A sweeping story of arms and heroism, The Aeneid follows the adventures of Aeneas, who flees the ashes of Troy to embark upon a tortuous course that brings him to Italy and fulfills his destiny as founder of the Roman people. Retaining all of the gravitas and humanity of the original, this powerful blend of poetry and myth remains as relevant today as when it was first written.

读后感
埃涅阿斯纪，要不是有谷歌输入法的帮助，我还是不能记住这个奇怪的名字。据说这本书讲述的是罗马先祖的历史，我却只记得罗马的开国祖先是关于狼孩什么的。后来读了这部史诗才知道埃涅阿斯比他们还要早很多。西方的史诗，毋宁说史诗（诗经中的某诗）是不怎么好读的，还好翻译的...
评分埃涅阿斯到冥河去访问他的父亲，这一段是神来之笔，充满想象，身边的人、后世的人。。。像梦境，又像现实。 埃涅阿斯与拉丁人的打斗太血腥了，并且最后他也不原谅那些向他求饶的战士。这多少让埃涅阿斯的成就沾上了苦味----奈特的话说得精准。 奈特的序写得好，对维...
评分 评分本来应该是力荐，但是翻译和校订烂，扣掉了一颗星 译者把corn，译成了玉米。看的时候感觉穿越极了，公元前的欧洲人怎么可能有玉米吃呢？而且各种玉米玉米，翻译成谷物不行吗…… 然后就是captain的问题了，captain不止队长这个意思吧……但是说埃涅阿斯队长真的很奇怪。把各...

评分余第10，11章没看。构思规整语言精妙，读过之后觉得Lattimore译本的荷马才是真爱。
