Description

Géorgiques Françaises is an epic poem by Jean-Baptiste Rougier de La Bergerie, reflecting the didactic tradition of classical georgics, here applied to French agriculture and rural life. This first volume presents a detailed and lyrical exploration of various farming techniques, seasonal changes, and the natural world. Through elegant verse, La Bergerie captures the rhythms of agricultural life, offering insights into the practices and philosophy of the era.
