Book Description: Harcourt, Inc., Orlando, 2008. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. First Edition. 288 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. New book. FICTION. In The Aeneid, Vergil's hero fights to claim the king's daughter, Lavinia, with whom he is destined to found an empire. Lavinia herself never speaks a word in the poem. Now, Ursula K. Le Guin gives Lavinia a voice in a novel that takes us to the half-wild world of ancient Italy, when Rome was a muddy village near seven hills. Lavinia grows up knowing nothing but peace and freedom, until suitors come. Her mother wants her to marry handsome, ambitious Turnus. But omens and prophecies spoken by the sacred springs say she must marry a foreignerÑthat she will be the cause of a bitter warÑand that her husband will not live long. When a fleet of Trojan ships sails up the Tiber, Lavinia decides to make her own destiny, and she tells us what Vergil did not: the story of her life, and of the love of her life. Lavinia is a book of love and war, generous and austerely beautiful, from a writer working at the height of her powers. (Key Words: Ursula K. Le Guin, Vergil, The Aeneid, Aeneas, Marriage, Legends, Fiction). book. Bookseller Inventory # 48721X8 Bookseller & Payment Information | More Books from this Seller | Ask Bookseller a Question |
