Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a translation of the first book of Virgil's Georgics, a didactic poem on farming, originally written during the 1st century BCE. The Georgics, which were written for an aristocrat, feature discussions on a variety of practical techniques and theoretical issues relevant to farming and agriculture. Virgil addresses the importance of farming at length, especially in light of the political and economic changes that were happening during his life. The complexities of the natural world that Virgil perceived are also explored in this work, as is the physical reality of farming and the brutal realities of life for the poor. The philosophical underpinnings of the Georgics are deeply rooted in the author's own experiences, and reflect the widespread upheavals and uncertainties of his time. Parts of the poem reveal a profound resignation and awareness of the harshness of the ancient world, and yet the author manages to balance this with a deep love for the subject matter and a hope for the future. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
