Letters To Atticus In 4 Fantastic Volumes,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cicero: Letters to Atticus, III, 166-281 (Loeb Classical Library 97) (Hardcover)
Loeb's 4-volume collection of Cicero's Letters to Atticus is probably the best set published today. Each of the Loeb volumes has Cicero's well-crafted Latin on the left-hand page and a faithful translation on the right-hand page. With these two texts, the reader can learn from the English while practicing latin at the same time. Even readers not interested in Latin, per se, will benefit from the Latin text because it allows the reader to dive into Cicero's time in a way that few other texts allow.
The Letters to Atticus cover the period of Julius Caesar's rise and the end of the Roman Republic, so students of history have much to study here. However, it is more than just history. It is a gripping story of a world in change. And no one has earned eternal praise for being able to speak better about his world than Cicero. The Letters to Atticus is completed with Cicero: Vol. XXII, Letters to Atticus 1-89 (Loeb Classical Library No. 7) Cicero: Letters to Atticus, II, 90-165A (Loeb Classical Library No. 8) and Cicero: D. Letters, Letters to Atticus 282-426 (Loeb Classical Library No. 491) Each Loeb volume is produced with high-quality paper and sewn binding. So these books can be in your library for several lifetimes. |
