Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book transports you to the bedside of the Roman poet Virgil in the final days of his life. The story unfolds in the form of a dramatic monologue, capturing Virgil's thoughts and anxieties as he grapples with his mortality and the legacy of his greatest work, the Aeneid. Set against the backdrop of ancient Rome's golden age, the author masterfully weaves together historical figures, literary allusions, and philosophical debates, revealing the complex inner world of a man torn between ambition and humility. Virgil's anxieties about his unfinished epic, his longing for philosophical enlightenment, and his deep appreciation for the beauty of his native land offer a poignant glimpse into the heart of a poet grappling with the weight of his own genius. The book's exploration of themes such as mortality, creativity, and the power of literature offers a timeless reflection on the enduring power of words and the complex relationship between art and life.
