Description: Virgile, Georgiques by Virgile, Eugene De Saint-Denis Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description English summary: Virgils Georgics continues on the success of his earlier bucolic works. However, behind this praise of country life lies political goals of reestablishing the virtues of the family and traditional cults that were suffering from intense Roman expansion. Patriotic and national, these texts harbor marvelous verses and precious historical context. French description: Virgile avait chante Tityre et exalte lideal de lotium rural. Fort de ce succes, il creuse cette veine bucolique en proposant, quelques annees plus tard les quatre Georgiques, redigees, selon Servius, entre 37 et 30. Retire a Noles, le poete a sous les yeux la belle nature de Campanie, dont il sinspire, et quil complete par une documentation poussee. Cependant, derriere cet eloge de la vie campagnarde, se cachent des buts plus politiques, largement commandes, via Mecene, par Octave lui-meme: il sagit de retrouver les antiques vertus de la famille et des cultes traditionnels qui subissent de plein fouet les consequences de lextension de linfluence romaine. Patriotiques et nationales, les Georgiques recelent surtout de merveilleuses pages, aujourdhui danthologie, comme le chant de la vigne et celui des abeilles. Notre edition rassemble en un volume les quatre chants des Georgiques. Lintroduction situe le poeme dans le reste de loeuvre et fournit de precieuses informations quant au contexte historique. Les sources, nombreuses, dont sest inspire Virgile, allant dHesiode a Varron dAtax, sont rapidement presentees et assorties de judicieuses pistes de lecture. La composition du recueil, et les problemes qui en decoulent sont analyses en detail; tandis que lhistoire de la tradition manuscrite est brievement evoquee. Des notes accompagnent la lecture et sont developpees, en fin de volume, par des notes complementaires. Louvrage est en outre enrichi par un Index Nominum.
