In the book, the author depicts the battles, adventures and travels of Aeneas, his love for the princess Dido and his efforts to establish a new civilized state entity.
Virgil's poetry is imbued with deep pathos, high patriotism and moral principles, which he conveyed to the reader through a sophisticated master-creator of language. The translation of the "Aeneid" into English took place thanks to a talented translator who managed to reproduce the artistic beauty and significance of the original.
