Ovid's matchless love poems in a glittering translation by the young Christopher Marlowe and illustrated by Rodin

Translated by award-winning poet Len Krisak, Ovid's Erotic Poems offers a fresh modern take on the renowned Roman's sophisticated satirical verse on love, sex, marriage, and adultery.

In the didactic poetry of Face Cosmetics, Art of Love, and Remedies for Love, Ovid (43 BCE-17 CE) demonstrates abstrusity and wit. His Ibis is an elegiac curse-poem. Nux, Halieutica, and Consolatio ad Liviam are poems now judged not to be by Ovid.

Now available for the first time in an annotated edition, Rolfe Humphriess legendary translation captures the spirit of Ovid's swift and conversational language, bringing the wit and sophistication of the Roman poet to modern readers. These are some of the most famous Roman myths as youve never read them before--sensuous, dangerously witty, audacious.

OVIDS METAMORFOSER hører hjemme blandt eventyrenes skatte sammen med 1001 Nat, Grimm og H.C. Andersen. Beretningen strækker sig fra verdens skabelse til kejser Augustus' tid, og i den ramme får Ovid fortalt de fleste af den græsk-romerske verdens sagn om guder og helte. Han gør det mesterligt, således at digtet i sin helhed er en beskrivelse af menneskelivet og dets vidunderlighed. Kærlighed og kamp (eller, om man vil, sex og vold) er hovedmotiver i de flere hundrede fortællinger, der spænder fra det heroiske til det idylliske, fra det gruelige til det sentimentale, fra det skrækindjagende til det charmerende, fra det tragiske til det komiske. Dues oversættelse er sprudlende, medrivende og yderst nutidig. I tilgift får vi Pablo Picassos 30 mesterlige raderinger fra Alberto Skiras udgave af OVIDS METAMORFOSER fra 1931. Bogen har samme udstyr og format som Homers ILIADE og ODYSSÈ.
