Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The first taste I had for books came to me from my pleasure in the fables of the Metamorphoses of Ovid. For at about seven or eight years of age I would steal away from any other pleasure to read them, inasmuch as this language was my mother tongue, and it was the easiest book I knew and the best s…uited by its content to my tender age.' -Michel de MontaigneThe Amores (16 BC) is a book of love elegies by Ovid. Divided into three books, The Amores was one of the Roman poet's first published works, an ambitious and often scorned attempt at achieving fame which tapped into the ancient tradition of romantic poetry while exhibiting its author's keen sense for outrage and social satire. Far from relatable, Ovid's poet-narrator is a caricature of the desperate lover, an example of what not to do in romance, or rather of how to guarantee public embarrassment for oneself and one's horrified friends and family.At times serious, at others humorous, The Amores uses a mix of down-to-earth examples and relatable references to mythology in its dedicated portrayal of a man brought low with desire. Struck by Cupid himself, he longs for the lovely Corinna, a woman of higher class and of clearly higher grace. Despite his numerous efforts-begging at her door, threatening suicide, bribing her servants, and driving himself to the brink of insanity-the poet fails time and again to convince Corinna to be his constant companion. Consistently failing to use discretion, he illuminates the cruel and often one-sided nature of love, while also providing an unintentionally critical analysis of the role social class plays in policing desire. In passages ranging from the lofty to the bawdy, Ovid proves himself a poet on the doorstep of fame, a man both sure of his talent and desperate for success and affirmation.This edition of Ovid's The Amores is a classic work of Roman literature reimagined for modern readers.
