هوراس: سرودهای اول (متون کلاسیک)

Horace's first book of verse satires is the earliest fully extant example of the genre in European literature; it not only handles moral topics with a persuasive air of sweet reason but also reveals much of the poet's own engaging personality and way of life. This edition incorporates a new text and prose translation and is designed to make the poems readily accessible to the modern reader by elucidating their content, structure and background; it also explores the artistry which lies behind their easy informality of style. Latin text with facing-page English translation, introduction and commentary. D' ou vient, Mecene , que jamais I'homme, soit qu'un dessein raisonne lui ait fait choisir sa part, soit que le hasard l'ait jetee devant lui, ne vit content d'elle, que toujours il vante ceux dont la voie est differente? Horace. Vol. 1: Introduction, Text, Translation And Commentary By P. Michael Brown ; Vol. 2: Introduction, Translation And Commentary By Frances Muecke. Parallel Latin And English Text. Text, translation, commentary and notes. (Aris and Phillips 1993)
