«O Cruel Alexis» is a selection of Virgil's pastoral poems, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (64 pages, in English).
Virgil's pastoral poems, translated from Latin into English, combine lyricism, melancholy and irony. The selection evokes vineyards, the scorching sun and the song of cicadas, in verses that reflect nostalgia for rural life and amorous desire.
Volume 76 of the Penguin Little Black Classics collection, launched to mark Penguin's 80th anniversary. Published in 2015, it brings together a selection of Virgil's Eclogues (Eclogae).
Intended for those wishing to approach Roman poetry in a brief and handy edition, within Penguin's Little Black Classics series.
