No detailed description available for "Q. Valerii Catulli Veronensis Liber".
The Roman poet Catullus is one of the most popular and frequently studied ancient authors. This new translation presents the poems as contemporary and concise with an energy and pace that both enhance Catullus' appeal for non-specialists and challenge specialists to consider his work from a fresh perspective.
Catullus' poetry is by turns ribald, lyric, romantic, satirical; it offers us vivid pictures of the poet's friends, enemies, and lovers. This work is a bilingual translation of Catullus' poems. It provides an essay on the poet's life and literary background, and a historical sketch of the politically fraught late Roman Republic in which he lived.
Of all the classical poets Gaius Valerius Catullus (c. 84-54 BC) is the most accessible to the modern reader. Presented alongside the original Latin text, this new translation reflects Catullus' mastery of poetic forms as diverse as the lyric, the inventive epigram, and the romantic legend, and shows his passionate, and sometimes dedicated to his lover Lesbia. This edition also includes an introduction to the poet's life and work, and full explanatory notes.
