Aeneid

Summary: Read with lyrical precision and dramatic grace
Review: Aeneid is a uniquely presented, abridged translation and audio CD presentation of Virgil's timeless work of classical literature concerning a group of refugees from the ruined city of Troy, who seek a promised land yet are continually thwarted by the goddess Juno. The classic narrative saga poem is ably translated into English by C. Day Lewis and read with lyrical precision and dramatic grace by skilled actor Paul Scofield (additionally supported by the voices of Jill Balcon, Toby Stephens, Geraldine Fitzgerald, John McAndrew, and Stephen Thorne). Classical music enhances this grand work of great literature resulting in an emotional and highly recommended listening experience that endures the test of time.
