One of the greatest and most influential texts of antiquity, "The Metamorphoses" is universally regarded as Ovid's highest poetical achievement. Divided into fifteen books dealing with the creation of the world, earth, its phenomena and a host of Greek myths and legends, Ovid's book has ingrained itself into the collective mind of our Western culture, sparking an infinite number of imitations and spin-off works to the present day. Rolfe Humphries' faithful blank-verse translation of the original's hexameters shows a definite kinship for Ovid's swift and colloquial language, and a poetical manner in tune with the wit and sophistication of the Roman poet. Through Humphries' version, the modern reader will be able to rediscover a major treasury of classical mythology which has perennially stimulated the imagination of men.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Ovid (43 bc-17 ad) gave up a career as a Roman public official to devote himself to his verse, his masterpieces Metamorphoses and The Art of Love setting new standards in poetic imagination and technical achievement.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Mary Innes's classic prose translation of one of the supreme masterpieces of Latin literature, Ovid's Metamorphosis. Ovid drew on Greek mythology, Latin folklore and legend from ever further afield to create a series of narrative poems, ingeniously linked by the common theme of transformation. Here a chaotic universe is subdued into harmonious order: animals turn to stone; men and women become trees and stars. Ovid himself transformed the art of storytelling, infusing these stories with new life through his subtley, humour and understanding of human nature, and elegantly tailoring tone and pace to fit a variety of subjects. The result is a lasting treasure-house of myth and legend. 'The most beautiful book in the language (my opinion and I suspect it was Shakespeare's)' - Ezra Pound Ovid was born in 43 BC in central Italy. He was sent to Rome where he realised that his talent lay with poetry rather than with politics. His first published work was 'Amores', a collection of short love poems. He was expelled in A.D. 8 by Emperor Augustus for an unknown reason and went to Tomis on the Black Sea, where he died in AD 17. Mary M. Innes graduated from Glasgow and Oxford Universities and subsequently taught in the universities of Belfast and Aberdeen, before spending some twenty years proving to schoolgirls that classical languages can and should be enjoyed. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR001305809
