This is the story of Aeneas' escape from the destruction of Troy and his relationship with Dido, the queen of Carthage. I liked it a lot, though the transition from Aeneas' description of his escape and the actual love story is abrupt. I'm now interested in reading the Aeneid. My favorite part of the book was the description of Rumour. I thought it was just fantastic! ( ) As a piece of writing, this extract from the Aeneid by Virgil is a great read. It helps to have knowledge of the Iliad and the Odyssey if you have not already read the Aeneid (which I will admit I have not done). However - as the first book in a series of great love stories from Penguin, it doesn't work so well. The first three quarters of the book are not really a love story at all, but rather are Aeneas retelling the story of how and why he left Troy. It is not until we get to book four that we get to the love story! Part of Penguin's Great Loves series, this is essentially just the first four books of the Aeneid, which I have never read. I loved this, and I hope to get around to reading the Aeneid itself sometime soon, though it's kind of a large undertaking. I really like Penguin's idea for this series though, and I think I'll probably buy one of the others soon to continue reading. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la série éditoriale
From the fall of Troy to the deadly Harpies, Aeneas' epic voyage is filled with tragedy, destruction and omens of danger. As he recounts his adventures to Dido, who gives him sanctuary, they fall in love. But the Gods intervene and Aeneas realizes their relationship cannot last. United by the theme of love, the writings in the Great Loves series span over two thousand years and vastly different worlds. Readers will be introduced to love's endlessly fascinating possibilities and extremities- romantic love, platonic love, erotic love, gay love, virginal love, adulterous love, parental love, filial love, nostalgic love, unrequited love, illicit love, not to mention lost love, twisted and obsessional .
