A special Faber Members Collectors' Edition of Aeneid Book VI, the last new work from Seamus Heaney. Get a free limited Aeneid Book VI letterpress poster (sent separately from Faber's head office).
Seamus Heaney’s translation of the sixth book of Virgil’s Aeneid, in which Aeneas travels to the underworld to meet the spirit of his father, bears the fruit of a lifetime’s concentration upon it: he began translating passages in the 1980s, and was finalising the work right up to the summer of his death.
A momentous publication, Heaney's Aeneid Book VI is now available as a beautifully crafted Collectors’ Edition.
As with all Faber Members Collectors' Editions, this stunnung book has been printed, sewn and hand-bound in Yorkshire.
In addition, every purchase of this edition comes with a complimentary letterpress Aeneid Book VI poster, which has been crafted by the Faber team and printed at the London Centre for Book Arts.
'Every page [of Aeneid Book VI] is a testament to the poet Heaney was.' Observer
