A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Ancient Rome had no shortage of great writers and poets, including Plutarch, Virgil, Ovid, Catullus, Tacitus, and countless others. One of the great Roman poets who is usually part of the conversation is Quintus Horatius Flaccus, known simply as Horace (65-8 B.C.). In fact, Horace was the preeminent Roman lyric poet during the time of Augustus.  
Horace may have had his greatest influence on the Middle Ages and Renaissance. While people today still echo his Carpe Diem , it’s clear that his poetry influenced the works of poets such as Petrarch and Dante as well. The Art of Poetry has been the standard guide on composing poetry for nearly 2,000 years. 

Biographie de l'auteur

Quintus Horatius Flaccus (8 December 65 BC – 27 November 8 BC), known in the English-speaking world as Horace, was the leading Roman lyric poet during the time of Augustus. The rhetorician Quintillian regarded his Odes as just about the only Latin lyrics worth reading: "He can be lofty sometimes, yet he is also full of charm and grace, versatile in his figures, and felicitously daring in his choice of words."
