Summary: Brilliant and witty
Comment: I read the Duane Humphries translation. His preface is superbly written, so one would hope that his translation possesses similar flair. Since I don't read Latin, I cannot attest to his accuracy.
He observes in his preface the commonalities between Ovid's scene and that of our contemporary world. You will get a strong sense of a society that was very similar to that of our own.
Rating: 4
Summary: If you want some action!
Comment: This is one of the best books that i have read on "love".Intellectual eroticism always gives a sophisticated veneer to less lofty primordial sexual impulses.Throws new light on the Roman decadence and hedonistic society.So if you want to take a journey and delve into the very essense of Ovid's eroticism and human sexuality or just learn to show some 'love' read this book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Sensual and relavent to our time
Comment: Ovid's Loves, the Art of love, the Art of Beauty, and Remedies for Love are combined in this book and show how Ovid lived and loved. The poetry is surprising at times when I didn't expect someone from around 2 B.C. to write about impotence, sex, and how to get a lover. That is not all that he writes about, though. His poetry of Corrina, a woman he loved, is described with elegance and passion. The Art of Love tells how to court and win a lover and surprisingly many of the ideas can be directly related to modern day life. I found this book to be very interesting in poetic content and also in seeing how alike the world is today with that of the ancient roman empire.
