More about the book
Focusing on rural life, Virgil's "Georgics" explores farming, animal husbandry, and beekeeping, blending didactic poetry with allegorical reflections on the civil strife in Rome.

Together, these works showcase Virgil's linguistic mastery, vivid descriptions, and insightful political commentary, solidifying his status as one of Rome's greatest poets. This edition uses J. W. Mackail's prose translation on premium acid-free paper.
