antická literatura v anglickém překladu 'A countryman cleaves earth with his crooked plough. Such is the labour
of his life. So he sustains his native land ...'
Virgil's
affectionate poem of the land does not admit brief excerpts, any more
than the labour of the farmer can easily be shortened. His verse,
descriptive and narrative, brings us the disappointments as well as the
rewards of the countryman's year-round devotion to his crops, his vines
and
olives, livestock great and small, and the complex society of bees.
Part agricultural manual, part political poem and allegory, the Georgics' scenes
are real and vivid, and the poet-farmer Peter Fallon makes us feel the
sights, sounds, and textures of the ancient Italian landscape.
'the
combination of truth to the words Virgil wrote, natural vernacular
speech and a general at-homeness on the land make Fallon's an inspired
translation' Seamus Heaney, Irish Times
'magnificent new translation...Fallon is the perfect translator for the Georgics' Bernard O'Donoghue, Times Literary Supplement
