The Gate to Caesar - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This classic work helps the intermediate student of Latin to begin to read the work of Julius Caesar straight away. In part one, selected passages from the second book of the Gallic war are presented with copious notes and in a slightly simplified form that allows the reader to concentrate on the underlying syntax. In part two, the author guides the reader through the same selections in their full form and thus reveals the essentially lucidity of Caesar's style. This book will give you the knowledge and confidence to read not only Caesar, but other Golden Age writers of Latin. There is a full vocabulary and additional etymological vocabulary to facilitate an understanding of Latin word formation. The text is printed with generous margins to allow the student to make copious notes. William Collar was a long-standing teacher of Latin and well understood the difficulties students face in learning the language. His "The Beginner's Book of Latin" is an excellent primer, covering the whole language with an minimum of technical detail, while his "Via Latina" easy reader makes acquiring vocabulary and idiom a real pleasure.
