'But I, while vineyards ring with the cicadas' scream,
Retrace your steps, alone, beneath the burning sun.'
Virgil's lyrical, wistful and often witty pastoral poems.

Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions.
