Maggiori informazioni sul libro

After decades as a book editor, Ann Patty stopped working and moved to the country. Bored and aimless, she decided to challenge her word-loving brain through a serious study of Latin, opening up unexpected windows into her own life. Catullus's poetry evokes her early days in Manhattan, while Lucretius elucidates her attraction to Buddhism. Women in Roman history give her fresh empathy for her late mother and Virgil reconciles Patty to her new life as a rustic scholar, writer and teacher. Written with humor, heart, and an infectious enthusiasm for words, Patty's book is an object lesson in how learning and literature can transform the past and lead to renewed purpose.-- Cover page 4
