A good read in latin, but very unhelpful notes This guy Mike The selections which were chosen for this Livy reader are fun to read and rewarding to translate, including such well-known events as Horatius on the bridge into Rome and Hannibal crossing the Alps. It is nice to have these episodes in front of you without having to leaf through the volumes and volumes of Livy's work that survive today. The only selections I could have done without are the ones with Livy not really talking about any historical event in particular, like the opening or his preface to the Punic Wars, but these selections offered more of a chal. A scholarly examination of Livy and his work The best way to understand the Roman period is to understand its literature. "A Livy Reader: Selections from Ab Urbe Condita" is a scholarly examination of Livy and his work, to give a view of the Roman world as a whole. Serving as a study guide to better understand Latin, "A Livy Reader" is an excellent pick for any student of the Latin language and culture. Also from Bolchazy-Carducci for Latin studies is "A Suetonius Reader: Selections from the Lives of the Caesars and the Life of Horace" focusing on the work of another writer of the classical times and . "Good Introduction to Livy" according to Judith A. Weller. If you are undecided about purchasing all of Livy's history in Latin. This book, as do all in the series, give a good introduction to the writer and his style. If you are interested in Liby by all means get this book.
An author as interesting and readable as Livy is surprisingly underrepresented among available readers, Minkova and Tunberg's Reading Livy's Rome: Selections from Books I-VI Livy's Ab Urbe Condita (Bolchazy-Carducci 2005) being an exception. The Livy edition is a slim volume with little adornment that includes eighteen selections. Also included are notes, two maps, and a glossary, all of which follow the text. It is one of Bolchazy's Latin Reader series that includes Apuleius, Caesar, Lucan, Martial, and epics, as well as some topical editions, e.g., women, the military, etc.; the title page of Jaeger's book reports that nineteen editions are planned. Her text will anchor or supplement courses from a third year high school cour
We also feature a line of contemporary eastern European and WWII books. Aiming to preserve the memory of Rome's achievements and morally rejuvenate his contemporaries, Livy takes readers on a tour of Rome's past as he thinks deeply about historiography, its uses, and its challenges. From Dr. Seuss books in Latin to Plato's Apology, Bolchazy-Carducci's titles help readers learn about ancient Rome and Greece; the Latin and ancient Greek languages are alive and well with titles like Cicero's De Amicitia and Kaegi's Greek Grammar.
