Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman historian Eutropius flourished in the fourth century AD and is the author of ‘Breviarium historiae Romanae’, a compendium of ten books of Roman history, from the foundation of the city to the accession of Valens.

Book Synopsis Delphi Complete Works of Persius (Illustrated) by : Aulus Persius Flaccus
Download or read book Delphi Complete Works of Persius (Illustrated) written by Aulus Persius Flaccus and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2021-09-08 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A first century Roman poet of Etruscan origin, Persius wrote polished satires that reveal his interest in Stoicism and a strong criticism for what he considered to be the stylistic abuses of his poetic contemporaries. Like Juvenal who would write half a century later, Persius was the heir to the style of Latin verse satire developed by Lucilius and Horace, which were clearly aimed at a sophisticated and urban audience. He adopts the mask of an angry man, while his sharp criticism of the society in which he lives is combined with flashes of sardonic humor. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Latin texts. This comprehensive eBook presents Persius’ complete extant works, with illustrations, an informative introduction and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to Persius’ life and works * Features the complete extant works of Persius, in both English translation and the original Latin * Concise introduction to the poetry * Provides both verse and prose translations * Also includes the 1918 translation previously appearing in the Loeb Classical Library edition * Features the translators’ original footnotes, giving important contextual information * Excellent formatting of the texts * Easily locate the poems you want to read with individual contents tables * Provides a special dual English and Latin text, allowing readers to compare the sections paragraph by paragraph — ideal for Latin students * Features three biographies — discover Persius’ ancient world * Ordering of texts into chronological order and literary genres Please visit www.delphiclassics.com to explore our range of Ancient Classics titles or buy the entire series as a Super Set CONTENTS: The Translations Brief Introduction to Persius Lewis Evans’ Prose Translation, 1881 William Gifford’s Verse Translation, 1881 George Gilbert Ramsay’s Prose Translation, 1918 The Latin Text Contents of the Latin Text The Dual Text Dual Latin and English Text The Biographies The Life of Aulus Persius Flaccus (c. 121) by Suetonius An Essay on the Roman Satirists (1881) by William Gifford Life of Persius (1918) by George Gilbert Ramsay Please visit www.delphiclassics.com to browse through our range of exciting titles

Download or read book Delphi Complete Works of Edward Young (Illustrated) written by Edward Young and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 1617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eighteenth century English poet, dramatist and philosopher, Edward Young is best remembered today for the enormously popular ‘Night-Thoughts’, a long, didactic poem contemplating the theme of death. The poem was inspired by the successive deaths of Young’s stepdaughter, her husband and the poet’s own wife over a five year period. Composed in blank-verse, it is a dramatic monologue of nearly 10,000 lines, divided into nine parts, or “Nights.” Young’s fame in Europe was further developed by his prose masterpiece, ‘Conjectures on Original Composition’, addressed to his friend, the novelist Samuel Richardson. The essay succinctly explores concepts that would later epitomise the principal concerns of the Romantic movement. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting.
