The Poems of Catullus

Produktbeskrivelse

The poems of the youthful Roman Catullus for his Lesbia (the courtesan Clodia) have forever occupied a place among the world's most beautiful erotic literature. The tonal dignity and passionate fervor of Catullus's original work shine throughout this brilliant translation by Horace Gregory. Catullus is here recreated with all his lyric beauty and genius for mordant satire unimpaired. Written with both the student and casual reader in mind, this edition includes the Latin text printed in juxtaposition to the English translation and is enhanced with twelve full-page illustrations by Zhenya Gay.
