AN NPR “BOOK WE LOVE” FOR SUMMER 2024
A gorgeously illustrated guide to memorable Latin phrases, including famous quotations on love, death, nature, politics, and more. Latin may be a “dead” language, but it’s all around us–in science, philosophy, religion, and literature. From “carpe diem” to the more obscure “alea iacta est,” classicist Maia Lee-Chin examines the deeper meanings of many Latin phrases still in use–as well as those lost to the in artist Marta Bertello’s haunting style, this unique compendium illuminates ancient Roman history and culture like never before.
