**A National Book Award Winner for verse translation by Allen Mandelbaum**
Aeneas flees the ashes of Troy to found the city of Rome and change forever the course of the Western world--and 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 time and all people.
