Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Horace: Rendered Into English Prose, With Introductions Running Analysis Notes and an Index This version of Horace is a literal rendering of the original, the translators having kept in view the same objects as they had before them in their edition of Virgil in this series. The style of the Satires and Epistles, "the prosaic Muse," as Horace himself calls it, appears to be not unsuited for actual prose; but with regard to the Odes, the case is certainly different. Yet, though few prose translations of the Odes have been written in this country, in France there have been many. Perhaps the most notable are the versions by M. Jules Janin and M. Léon Halévy. These are flowing and elegant, but have rather a tendency to paraphrase. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
