Description

"Love Elegies", "The Art of Love", "Love Medicines", as well as "Metamorphoses" and "Sorrowful Elegies", are the most popular works of the outstanding Roman poet Ovid. Subtle humor, insightful psychologism, lively scenes from the life at that time and a brilliant poem throughout the ages attract the reader s attention and give these works an indelible value. The gift edition is illustrated with skillful illustrations by Andrii Chebykin.

About the Author

Publius Ovidius Naso (Classical Latin: ['p?b.li.?s ?'w?.di.?s 'na?.so?]; 20 March 43 BC – AD 17/18), known as Ovid (/'?v?d/) in the English-speaking world, was a Roman poet who lived during the reign of Augustus. He was a contemporary of the older Virgil and Horace with whom he is often ranked as one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature. The Imperial scholar Quintilian considered him the last of the Latin love elegists. He enjoyed enormous popularity, but, in one of the mysteries of literary history, he was sent by Augustus into exile in a remote province on the Black Sea, where he remained until his death. Ovid himself attributes his exile to carmen et error, "a poem and a mistake", but his discretion in discussing the causes has resulted in much speculation among scholars.
