Overview

A tale of love and loss, this tiered reader of the fourth book of Vergil's Aeneid presents several versions of each passage rewritten in Latin of gradually increasing difficulty, so that Vergil's beautiful original poetry can be read with much greater ease. At 30,000 words, it is about six times longer than the original text, with over 400 illustrations to help explain Vergil's more specialised vocabulary while maximising time spent in Latin. Struggling to break free of the intermediate plateau? You can enjoy reading Vergil with me through this book! By explaining complex Latin through simpler Latin (without sacrificing natural expression), we can turn what would have been intensive reading for typical intermediate learners into a delightful extensive reading experience.
