Winnie Ille Pu
by Alexander Lenard A. A. Milne"... diem cum Pu ac Porcellus heffalumpum capere conati sunt ..." "Non ceperunt, ceperuntne?" "Minime vero." Tu nequivit, quia omnis cerebri expers est. Ego autem heffalumpum cepi?" "Vere, istud pars fabulae est." Christophorus Robinus adnuit: "Egomet reminiscor," dixit. "Sed eae res fugiunt Pui memoriam, qua de causa fabulas bis narratas diligit. Tum tamen fabula vera est, non solum opus memoriae." "Equidem non secus sentio," dixi. Christophorus Robinus suspirium ab imo duxit, ursum pede apprehendit et Pum post se trahens ad ostium iit. Apud ostium se convertens dixit: "Venisne ut me in balneo videas?" "Possum," dixi. "Num eum ictu laesi?" "Minime vero." Adnuit et exiit et interposito deinde brevi tempore audivi Winnie ille Pum BUMP-BUMP-BUMP gradibus post eum ascendere.

A Suetonius Reader: Selections From the Lives of the Caesars and the Life of Horace
by Josiah OsgoodThe popular appeal of Suetonius' Lives of the Caesars is obvious. Who would not thrill reading about the great Julius Caesar's delight in the Senates bestowal of the right to wear a laurel wreath on all occasions because it covered his baldness? Or that the Divine Augustus had rotten teeth and wore special platform shoes to make himself look taller? <p><p>Suetonius, however, has not always been as enthusiastically received among historians, who sometimes overlook that he intended his work as biography, not history, or that he patently aimed for prose that was not literary, but instead unadorned, clear, and concise. Such qualities of prose, however, happily make his Latin enjoyable both to teach and to read. And while Suetonius' details of the weird worlds of extraordinary men are endlessly entertaining, they are not merely that. This business like biographer produced an extraordinarily influential work. His Caesars is a landmark in the history of biographical writing, and remains a key source for the history of Rome, its transition from Republic to Empire, and contemporary efforts to come to terms with individual destiny, through astrology, physiognomy, dream analysis, and more. Through to the present day Suetonius has profoundly shaped modern perceptions of Roman society.

In the Subura, your life hangs by a thread.

Odes: With Carmen Saeculare
by Horace Stanley Lombardo Anthony CorbeillHorace's Odes enjoys a long tradition of translation into English, most famously in versions that seek to replicate the quantitative rhythms of the Latin verse in rhymed quatrains. Stanley Lombardo, one of our preeminent translators of classical literature, now gives us a Horace for our own day that focuses on the dynamics, sense, and tone of the Odes, while still respecting its architectonic qualities. In addition to notes on each of the odes, Anthony Corbeill offers an Introduction that sketches the poet's tumultuous political and literary careers, highlights the Odes' intricate construction and thematic breadth, and identifies some qualities of this work that shed light on a disputed question in its reception: Are these poems or lyrics? This dual-language edition will prove a boon to students of classical civilization, Roman literature, and lovers of one of the great masters of Latin verse.

Familia Romana (Lingua Latina #Book One)
by Hans H. ØrbergHans Ørberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata is the world's premiere series for learning Latin via the Natural Method. The Natural Method encourages students to learn Latin without resorting to translation, but instead by teaching them to think in the language: students first learn grammar and vocabulary inductively through extended contextual reading and an ingenious system of marginal notes. Lingua Latina per se Illustrata is also the most popular series for those teachers at both the secondary and collegiate levels who wish to develop Latin conversational skills in the classroom. <p><p>Familia Romana (the main book of Pars I of the Lingua Latina per se illustrata series) contains thirty-five chapters and describes the life of a Roman family in the 2nd century A.D. It culminates in readings from classical poets and Donatus's Ars Grammatica, the standard Latin school text for a millennium. Each chapter is divided into two or three lessons (lectiones) of a few pages each followed by a grammar section (Grammatica Latina) and three exercises (Pensa). Hans Ørberg's impeccable Latin, humorous stories, and the Peer Lauritzen illustrations, reproduced in full color, make this work a classic. The book also includes a table of declensions, a Roman calendar, and a word index (index vocabulorum). <p><p>The Lingua Latina series incorporates the following features: <p><p>The most comprehensive treatment of Latin grammar available in an elementary textbook. <p><p>A vocabulary of almost 1,800 words, reinforced by constant and creatively phrased repetition, vastly expands the potential for later sight reading. <p><p>A complete line of ancillary volumes, exercises, and readers both in print and online.
Epistola ad Joannem Millium
by Richard Bentley G. P. GooldThe year 1962 marks the tercentenary of the birth of Richard Bentley (1662-1742), Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, editor of Paradise Lost, but principally and justly famous as one of the greatest classical scholars. To mark the event, the University of Toronto Press is issuing a special reprint of Alexander Dyce's edition of the Epistola (1691), the work which first brought Bentley fame, and which has long been out of print.<P><P>This Latin exercise was called forth by one of those unhappy productions which, mediocre themselves, have had the ill luck to attract the inspection of genius. In the eighth or ninth century A.D., Joannes Malelas of Antioch, a Greek writer, attempted a chronological record of mankind and in it he had recourse to name or quote from classical works no longer extant. English scholars in the seventeenth century prepared a translation of the chronicle into Latin and an accompanying commentary; just before its publication, under the final editorship of John Mill, Bentley was given an opportunity to read proof-sheets and the result was the Epistola, a collection mainly of some twenty-five notes upon statements found in or topics suggested by Malelas. <P>This extraordinary performance by a scholar of 29 moves from one topic to another over a wide range of ancient literature, explaining or correcting some sixty Greek and Latin authors. The notes are not so much a commentary on the old chronicler as a set of dazzling dissertations pegged upon a random set of appalling howlers, and they reveal prodigious information and gift of divination. Bentley's style in Latin is clear and spirited and seasoned with choice of quotation. <P>The Epistola immediately secured for its writer the fame reserved for men of the rarest excellence and this classic among academic productions is still charged with power to instruct and inspire the scholarship of another era.
