by Virgil (Author), KimberlyJohnson (Translator)
'Georgic' means 'to work the earth'. This poetic guide to country living combines practical wisdom on tending the land with fantasy and eulogies to the rhythms of nature. It describes hills strewn with wild berries in 'vine-spread autumn', and gives guidance on making wine and keeping bees.
