The Aeneid of Virgil 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
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...
评分论讲故事的能力,维吉尔不如荷马,也不如与他同一时代的奥维德。维吉尔笔下的主人公埃涅阿斯,性格平淡得有如一张白纸。维吉尔多次用“诚实的”、“忠实的”一类的词汇来形容埃涅阿斯,意指埃涅阿斯对神灵敬顺有加,对命运毫不违逆。综观全书,埃涅阿斯在他的冒险旅程经历过许...
评分维吉尔老头是但丁老头最推崇的诗人,这俩老头真是意气相投。 个人之见,从文本内涵角度来看,后世丰富于前世是不可逆的趋势。当然,文人一直有复古的心理,总以为先圣之书便是完美的。这是历代文人以其新思想附会的结果。原始文本一定是单纯的,过了一百年,便复杂一些,五百年...
评分今天最终读完了厚厚一本Aeneid 也是欧洲文学课中《埃涅阿斯纪》部分的final quiz.. 奋战了一周、努力地读史诗,读的昏天黑地觉得绝望,但最后还是不知不觉地就读到了结尾: "Then all the body slackened in death's chill, And with a groan for that indignity His spirit fl...

Publisher Comments:
Aeneas flees the ashes of Troy to found the city of Rome and change forever the course of the Western world--as 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 2,000 years. Filled with drama, passion, and the universal pathos that only a masterpiece can express. The Aeneid is a book for all the time and all people.
Review
"Allen Mandelbaum has produced a living Aeneid, a version that is unmistakably poetry."
-- Erich Segal, The New York Times Book Review
"A brilliant translation; the only one since Dryden which reads like English verse and conveys some of the majesty and pathos of the original."
-- Bernard M. W. Knox
"Mandelbaum has... given us a contemporary experience of the masterpiece, at last."
-- David Ignatow

About the Author
Throughout his life Virgil was a poet and as far as we know had no interest in pursuing any other career. He was born Publius Vergilius Maro in 70 BC near Mantua, in what now is northern Italy. His parents, farm owners, were people of property and substance, if not wealth, and were able to obtain for their son a first-rate education. On completing his education, he returned home and possibly began work on the Eclogues, which appeared between the years of 42 and 37 BC. In 41 BC, the Emperor Octavian (later known as Augustus) confiscated Virgil's family's property, and Virgil was obliged to travel to Rome to negotiate for its return. Fortunately for Virgil, one of the officials secured for him an introduction to the emperor; not only was his land returned, but he also met Octavian's confidant Maecenas, who became Virgil's patron for the rest of his life. An industrious, meticulous writer, Virgil was not prolific. In addition to the ten Eclogues, which apparently took at least five years to publish, Virgil wrote the four Georgics, which took seven years, and the Aeneid, his great masterwork. Virgil worked on the Aeneid for eleven years, until his death in 19 BC. Feeling, apparently, that the epic was still unfinished, he directed in his will that the manuscript be destroyed. To the great fortune of succeeding generations, the emperor, Virgil's most prominent friend and admirer, intervened to countermand this provision. He turned the manuscript over to two of Virgil's friends, Varius and Tucca, to edit only obvious errors and repetitions, without adding to the text. The result of their work is the beautiful and brilliant Aeneid we have today.
Allen Mendelbaum's five verse volumes are: Chelmaxions; The Savantasse of Montparnasse; Journeyman; Leaves of Absence; and A Lied of Letterpress. His volumes of verse translation include The Aeneid of Virgil, a University of California Press volume (now available from Bantam) for which he won a National Book Award; the Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso volumes of the California Dante (now available from Bantam); The Odyssey of Homer (now available from Bantam); The Metamorphoses of Ovid, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in poetry; Ovid in Sicily; Selected Poems of Giuseppe Ungaretti; Selected Writings of Salvatore Quasimodo; and David Maria Turoldo. Mandelbaum is co-editor with Robert Richardson Jr. of Three Centuries of American Poetry (Bantam Books) and, with Yehuda Amichai, of the eight volumes of the JPS Jewish Poetry Series. After receiving his Ph.D. from Columbia, he was in the Society of Fellows at Harvard. While chairman of the Ph.D. program in English at the Graduate Center of CUNY, he was a visiting professor at Washington University in St. Louis, and at the universities of Houston, Denver, Colorado, and Purdue. His honorary degrees are from Notre Dame University, Purdue University, the University of Assino, and the University of Torino. He received the Gold Medal of Honor from the city of Florence in 2000, celebrating the 735th anniversary of Dante's birth, the only translator to be so honored; and in 2003 he received the President of Italy's award for translation. He is now Professor of the History of Literary Criticism at the University of Turin and the W.R. Kenan Professor of Humanities at Wake Forest University.

下学期要教,所以又读了一遍。感觉比荷马史诗要更复杂,能讨论的方面很多。
评分五分给这个伟大的母题。不过不懂拉丁文去读维吉尔真是一大硬伤。
