Brown slipcase. 25.2x16cm. 96pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVirgil's Georgics is a great work of Latin poetry devoted to farming, nature and humanity's relationship with the land. Divided into four books, it considers agriculture, vines and trees, livestock and beekeeping while combining practical instruction with mythology, philosophy and poetic reflection. Far more than a simple farming manual, the poem explores labour, order, hardship and the fragile balance between human civilisation and the natural world. Written during a period of political upheaval in Rome, the Georgics also reflects on renewal and stability, making it one of Virgil's richest and most influential works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216401088851,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421108683091,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-georgics-folio-society-300","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
