Eneide
Nei secoli, generazioni e generazioni di lettori si sono formate, commosse e divertite sulle pagine dell'Eneide. Come scrisse il poeta Thomas S. Eliot, nella celebre conferenza What is a classic? , tenuta a Londra il 16 ottobre 1944, mentre la barbarie infuriava nel mondo: “In lui si riassumono tanti simboli della storia d'Europa e rappresenta valori europei tanto essenziali (...).
