El silbido del arquero / by Vallejo Moreu, Irene,author.(CARDINAL)870420;
Luego del asedio de Troya, obligado a huir para salvar a su familia, el derrotado héroe Eneas recibe una visión sobre el futuro de su casta. Acompañado de un puñado de sobrevivientes, se embarca hacia lo desconocido y naufraga en Cartago, donde es bien recibido por la reina Elisa y puede, al fin, atisbar la redención de su estirpe. Unos siglos más tarde, el poeta Virgilio recibe del emperador Augusto la encomienda de narrar la gloriosa historia de Roma, enraizada en aquella primera aventura de Eneas. Indeciso por la forma de llevar a cabo esta tarea, el poeta se pasea por la ciudad en busca de la inspiración, incapaz de ignorar la miseria que se oculta detrás del mármol pulido de sus calles. El mito, la historia, la aventura, el romance y la guerra se entrecruzan en esta novela coral para recordarnos que el pasado está imbricado en las fibras del presente. Irene Vallejo da muestras de su erudición y su talento narrativo con cada capítulo, y ejerce un hipnótico llamado a sus lectores para mirar con ojos siempre nuevos las lecciones que el pasado tiene para ofrecer.

Includes bibliographical references (page xxxvi-xlii).Dido, queen of Carthage -- Tamburlaine the Great, part one -- Tamburlaine the Great, part two -- The jew of Malta -- Doctor Faustus -- Edward the Second -- The massacre at Paris."Christopher Marlowe - a possible spy with a reputation for atheism who was murdered in mysterious circumstances - courted danger throughout his life. A sense of the dark forces operating in social and political relationships underlies his work. In Dr. Faustus, a man of great intellect and even greater ambition craves knowledge, and is prepared to sell his soul to the Devil to achieve it. Tamburlaine attempts to satisfy his desire for greatness through his domination over an ever-growing empire, while Edward II upsets the delicate balance of power in the land and plants the seed of his own murder. All the plays here show Marlowe's fascination with the tension between weak and strong, sacred and profane."--Jacket.

The Aeneid of Virgil [sound recording] / by Vandiver, Elizabeth,1956-(CARDINAL)360664; Teaching Company.(CARDINAL)349444;
Lecturer: Elizabeth Vandiver.Presents Virgil's epic poem about Aeneas and his journey west from ruined Troy to the founding of a new nation in Italy. The Aeneid is an examination of leadership, a study of the conflict between duty and desire, a meditation on the relationship of the individual to society and of art to life, and a Roman's reflection on the dangers, and the allure, of Hellenistic culture. It represents both Virgil's tribute to Homer, and his attempt to re-imagine and surpass the Homeric model.

The Aeneid of Virgil / by Virgil,author.(CARDINAL)138658;
The Aeneid of Virgil (19 BC) is an epic poem by Roman poet Virgil. Virgil’s legendary epic is the story of the hero Aeneas, a castaway from Troy whose adventures across the Mediterranean led him to Italy, where he discovered what would later become the city of Rome. Presented here in an accessible prose translation, The Aeneid of Virgil is a treasure of classical literature and a story of romance, war, and adventure to rival the best of Homer. Fleeing the destruction of Troy by Greek forces, Aeneas brings his son Ascanius and father Anchises on a voyage across the sea. Landing in Carthage, Aeneas, his family, and his crew are rescued by Dido, Queen of Tyre. There, Aeneas, despite mourning the loss of his beloved wife Creusa, falls in love with Dido, who offers him refuge and her devoted love. Knowing that he is destined to found a city in Italy, however, Aeneas abandons the queen, leading her to commit suicide. Now determined to fulfill his destiny at any cost, Aeneas sails to Sicily, journeys to the underworld, and eventually arrives in the region of Latium, where he is swept up in conflict with Turnus, the Rutulian king. Flawed and feared, Aeneas exemplifies the imperfect hero compelled by fate and the gods, yet ultimately driven through a will to survive and provide for his fledgling people. Faithfully but concisely translated into accessible English prose, The Aeneid of Virgil is best read aloud with friends and family, and iconic masterpiece of ancient Rome still relevant for our modern world. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Aeneid of Virgil is a classic work of Roman literature reimagined for modern readers.

The aeneid / by Vergil,author.; Bartsch, Shadi,translator.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 325-326).A fresh and faithful translation of Vergil's Aeneid restores the epic's spare language and fast pace and sheds new light on one of the cornerstone narratives of Western culture. The best version of the Aeneid in modern English: concise, readable and beautiful, but also as accurate and faithful to Vergil s Latin as possible. James J. O Hara, George L. Paddison Professor of Latin, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. For two thousand years, the epic tale of Aeneas's dramatic flight from Troy, his doomed love affair with Dido, his descent into the underworld, and the bloody story behind the establishment of Rome has electrified audiences around the world. In Vergil's telling, Aeneas's heroic journey not only gave Romans and Italians a thrilling origin story, it established many of the fundamental themes of Western life and literature the role of duty and self-sacrifice, the place of love and passion in human life, the relationship between art and violence, the tension between immigrant and indigenous people, and the way new foundations are so often built upon the wreckage of those who came before. Throughout the course of Western history, the Aeneid has affirmed our best and worst intentions and forced us to confront our deepest contradictions. Shadi Bartsch, Guggenheim Laureate, award-winning translator, and chaired professor at the University of Chicago, confronts the contradictions inherent in the text itself, illuminating the epic's subversive approach to storytelling. Even as Vergil writes the foundation myth for Rome, he seems to comment on this tendency to mythologize our heroes and societies, and to gesture to the stories that get lost in the mythmaking. Bartsch's groundbreaking translation, brilliantly maintaining the brisk pace of Vergil's Latin even as it offers readers a metrical line-by-line translation, provides a literary and historical context to make the Aeneid resonant for a new generation of readers.
