SYNOPSIS OF THE AENEID RETOLD IN PROSE. The Journey of Aeneas and the Legendary Founding of Rome.
Libro disponible From the burning ruins of Troy begins one of the most influential journeys in Western literature. Aeneas, warrior, father, and reluctant bearer of destiny, must lead the surviving Trojans across hostile seas in search of a new homeland promised by the gods. Carrying the memory of his fallen city and the responsibility of preserving his people, Aeneas confronts storms, prophecies, divine rivalries, monsters, war, and devastating personal loss. His path leads him from the tragic destruction of Troy to the court of Queen Dido in Carthage, through the realm of the dead, and finally to the shores of Italy, where the future of his descendants will be decided through conflict and sacrifice. The Aeneid: A Prose Retelling transforms Virgil’s twelve-book epic into a clear and continuous narrative while preserving its principal characters, mythological world, tragic depth, andmeditation on duty, memory, power, and fate. Organized into accessible chapters, this adaptation allows contemporary readers to experience the full dramatic force of Aeneas’s mission and the legendary origins of Rome. A compelling introduction to one of antiquity’s greatest works—and a renewed encounter with a story that has shaped literature for more than two thousand years. Libro disponible
