The Aeneid by Virgil5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In the meantime, four stars ain’t bad, and this one, and the newer one from Naxos (narrated by David Collins) are the two I think are the best. If someone could talk Dan Stevens into doing Robert Fitzgerald’s translation, he might be able to knock it out of the park - he’s already done that for Homer. In my opinion, the audiobook world is still waiting for a 5-star rendition of The Aeneid. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. Here, Fagles brings to life the timeless journey of Aeneas as he flees the ashes of Troy to found Roman society and change forever the course of the Western world.įagles' translation retains all of the gravitas and humanity of the original as well as its powerful blend of poetry and myth. The Aeneid is a sweeping epic of arms and heroism and a searching portrait of a man caught between love, duty, and the force of his own destiny. Now, with this stunning modern verse translation, Fagles has reintroduced Virgil's Aeneid to a whole new generation, and completed the classical triptych at the heart of Western civilization. His translations of both the Iliad and Odyssey have sold hundreds of thousands of copies and have become the standard translations of our era. The publication of a new translation by Fagles is a literary event. Here is the much-anticipated new translation of Virgil's epic poem from the award-winning translator Robert Fagles. ![]()

In volume two, they are already in love and kiss a lot in the book (which always brought a loud “EwWwwWWw!!” from Maggie, followed by giggles, then her looking back at the panel again, and giggling some more). Vampire Kisses Blood Relatives volume 2is a continuation of the first book (unfortunately, we’ve not found volume one anywhere) in which Raven, the goth heroine, and Alexander, teenage Vampire hero, meet and fall in love. This is in contrast to Western comics which are typically based around superhero themes. In Japan, manga are targeted at all age groups and cover a wide range of genres. So today I am writing my first review for a Manga book □Īccording to the Anime Critic website’s glossary, Manga is: Of the books available, she picked Vampire Kissesbecause, unlike regular Manga, it opens and reads left to right like any other western-civilized reading material… regular Manga opens and reads right to left, making the average American feel as if the book is backwards or defective some kind of misprint. Knowing Maggie’s love for the anime cartoons, and pretty much anything Asian really, I pointed out a few of the Manga books. With me were Gwen, it was her parent-teacher conference we had just finished, and Maggie. Title: Vampire Kisses: Blood Relatives volume 2Īlmost two months ago, I visited the book fair at my middle daughter’s school. ![]() |
