Opis

This book provides the Latin text (from the Oxford Classical Text series) of the second book of Horace's masterpiece together with a translation that tries to adhere closely to the Latin while capturing the flavor of the original. Included is a helpful commentary, making the book accessible not only to students but to lovers of classical poetry.

Recenzje

David West takes a refreshing approach insofar as academic questions are sobered by looking at how the poems work as poems.
