Long Live Latin is for those aware of the abundant Latin living on about them, who would like to know its meaning and more about it. With alphabetical entries, translation, supporting commentary and diverse other complementary material, this book is immensely readable.
Often amusing, it is more than a useful book of reference. It can be read in its entirety, browsed through or dipped into. Busy people can pick it up and put it down at will. They will not lose the thread of any plot: instead, further to what they seek, they will find quotations, snippets of his-tory and some lovely poetry.
They will too get a glimpse of the ancient writers' wisdom and will acquire a wealth of fasci¬nating miscellaneous information, much of which might have been thought eso¬teric. It is a pleasure to own and an ideal gift.
