(Les Géorgiques sont une uvre de Virgile en quatre chants...)
Les Géorgiques sont une uvre de Virgile en quatre chants, écrite entre 36 et 29 av. J.-C. Le terme géorgique vient du grec et signifie travailleur de la terre. L'uvre est divisée en quatre livres, qui traitent dans l'ordre : des cultures et des champs, de l'arboriculture et de la vigne, de l'élevage des troupeaux, et de l'apiculture. L'ouvrage se présente comme un traité sur l'agriculture, mais les thèmes abordés sont beaucoup plus vastes: guerre, paix, mort, résurrection. Il constitue surtout une célébration de la vie paysanne traditionnelle. Table des matières: Blé et saison du laboureur Vigne et olivier Élevage du bétail Le rucher Virgile, en latin Publius Vergilius Maro (70 av. J.-C. - 19 av. J.-C.), est un poète latin contemporain de la fin de la République romaine et du début du règne de l'empereur Auguste. Ayant acquis l'immortalité littéraire grâce à son épopée, Virgile va influencer nombre d'écrivains du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance, tel Ronsard, qui rédige La Franciade (inachevée) dans la volonté de donner un équivalent français et de l'époque moderne à l'Énéide.

Ce livre est parfaitement mis en page pour une lecture sur Kindle. Il a été relu et corrigé. Il est mis en pages pour lecture sur liseuse électronique. Extrait:Le Ier juin 1885, le peuple de Paris faisait à Victor Hugo de grandes funérailles, un peu fastueuses peut-être. Le gouvernement sy associa et fit en sorte que tout fût vaste et grandiose. Tout ? Non. Voulut-on, après la mort du poète, continuer lantithèse dont il avait fait la figure dominante de ses uvres ? De fait, il y avait un contraste presque violent entre le poète si grand et lhomme si petit. On voit encore cet immense cortège et ce modeste cercueil, cette foule prodigieuse où figuraient les grands corps de lÉtat, ce que la France comptait de plus illustre dans larmée, linstitut, ladministration, le clergé excepté il était remplacé par les Beni-Bouffe-toujours. Et lon croyait quaucune cérémonie aussi majestueuse ne sétait vue depuis la pompe funèbre de Mirabeau (4 avril 1791). Le cortège dune lieue, qui commença à 5 heures du matin, narriva à Sainte-Geneviève, laïcisée ad hoc, quà minuit, seize soldats citoyens se relayant pour porter le cadavre, apothéose sitôt suivie des gémonies, et les restes de Mirabeau jetés à la voirie sur la proposition de Marie-Joseph Chénier, pour laisser sa place de Panthéon à Marat...

linguist professor translator poet
He was born at Aigueperse in Auvergne and died in Paris. Delille was an illegitimate child, and was descended by his mother from the chancellor De l"Hôpital.
He was educated at the College of Lisieux in Paris and became an elementary teacher.
He gradually acquired a reputation as a poet by his epistles, in which things are not called by their ordinary names but are hinted at by elaborate paraphrases. Sugar becomes le miel américain, Quebec du suc des roseaux exprima l"Africain. The publication (1769) of his translation of the Georgics of Virgil made him famous.
Voltaire recommended the poet for the next vacant place in the Académie française.
He was at once elected a member, but was not admitted until 1774 owing to the opposition of the king, who alleged that he was too young. In his Jardins, ou l"art d"embellir les paysages (1782) he made good his pretensions as an original poet.
In 1786 he made a journey to Constantinople in the train of the ambassador M. de Choiseul-Gouffier. Delille had become professor of Latin poetry at the Collège de France, and abbot of Saint-Sévrin, when the outbreak of the French Revolution reduced him to poverty.
He purchased his personal safety by professing his adherence to revolutionary doctrine, but eventually quit Paris, and retired to Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, where he completed his translation of the Aeneid.
Delille emigrated first to Basel and then to Glairesse in Switzerland. Here he finished his Homme des champs, and his poem on the Trois règnes de la nature. His next place of refuge was in Germany, where he composed his Louisiana Pitié.
And finally, he passed some time in London, chiefly employed in translating Paradise Lost.
In 1802 he was able to return to Paris, where, although nearly blind, he resumed his professorship and his chair at the Académie française, but lived in retirement. He fortunately did not outlive the vogue of the descriptive poems which were his special province.
