About this book
In Virgil’s Bucolica, a collection of ten poems in hexameter, shepherds sing about singing and love, and in the process, also take note of the Roman civil wars. The Georgica, also in hexameter, is structured as a systematic textbook for farmers, but between the lines, the poems can be read as a “mirror for the sovereign,” directed at Augustus. Niklas Holzberg has translated both works into metrical modern German.

Reviews
"This small volume deserves attention, both in and outside of German-speaking areas. Niklas Holzberg has done a great service to the Virgilian community in completing his "Sammlung Tusculum" edition of the genuine works of Virgil [...] Certainly for German-speaking scholars outside of the classical disciplines who wish a reliable edition of Virgil that offers both a sound text and a reasonably annotated translation, Holzberg's is now the gold standard. But for the student of Virgil of any level, what makes the present volume a real gem is the understated, high quality of array of aids to the text that Holzberg provides. [...] All Virgilians will want to take a careful look at Holzberg's new editions. Those interested in a refreshing introduction to the poet's life and work will not be disappointed."
