TRANSLATED BY TOM PAYNE Are you a sought-after dreamboat forever turning down invitations from attractive admirers? If not, then perhaps you could use some advice from Ovid, the best teacher on the subject of love in all of history. The Art of Love may have been written in the days of gladiators and emperors, but the advice within its covers is enduringly useful and entertaining. It contains all men and women need to know about where to meet a new beau, how to handle illicit affairs, how to maintain your allure and dress to impress. This edition also contains the companion volume The Cure for Love - in case things don't work out. With an introduction by Hephzibah Anderson
