"Lavinia" by Ursula Le Guin (Aeneid as fantasy) - Sergey Lenkov - 08-12-2009

I finished to read new novel by American fantasy writer Ursula Le Guin. It based on The Aeneid. The story of struggle of Aeneus in Italy through the eyes of his wife - Lavina. Though the novel is a kind of fantasy - Ursula Le Guin researched a little bit and I suppose that her view of life of aincient people could be interesting for the lovers of Antiquity.
