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

The translation is characteristically clear and vivid, the commentary lucidly exegetical, providing almost all the historical, philosophical and literary information the reader (however general) needs for the interpretation of these densely allusive poems ... no reader of Horace's 'Odes' from scholar to school student will fail to gain a good deal from this book.
