Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Ein ausgezeichnetes Exemplar mit goldenem Buchschnitt / an excellent copy with golden book edges. - Virgils epic tale tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero, who abandons his city after its fall with his father Anchises and his little son Ascanius, for Aeneas is destined to found Rome and father the Roman race. As Aeneas journeys closer to his goal, he must first prove his worth and attain the moral and emotional maturity necessary for such an illustrious task. He battles terrifying storms in the Mediterranean, encounters the fearsome Cyclopes, falls in love with the beautiful and charismatic Dido, Queen of Carthage, travels into the Underworld and engages in war in Italy. Virgils Aeneid - poignant, thrilling, terrifying and moving in equal measure - has inspired generations of artists, writers and musicians, including Dante, Milton, Purcell and Turner.
