«Bucoliques» is the Latin-French bilingual edition of Virgil's eclogues, published by Belles Lettres in paperback (140 pages).
The Bucolics, also called Eclogues, bring together ten pastoral poems by Virgil. Their dialogues between shepherds take place in an idealized Arcadia and address love, nature, and rural life. This bilingual edition presents the Latin text with its French translation.
It corresponds to number 12 of the Classiques en Poche collection; edition published in 1997. French translation by Eugène de Saint-Denis and introduction by Jean-Pierre Néraudau.
It is suitable for Latin students and for French-speaking readers who want to approach Virgilian poetry in a bilingual edition.
Publius Vergilius Maro, usually called Virgil or Vergil in English, was an ancient Roman poet of the Augustan period. He composed three of the most famous poems in Latin literature: the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the epic Aeneid. Some minor poems, collected in the Appendix Vergiliana, were attributed to him in ancient times, but modern scholars regard these as spurious, with the possible exception of some short pieces.
