Book synopsis

Reading Latin is a best-selling Latin course designed to help mature beginners read Latin fluently and intelligently, primarily in the context of classical culture. It does this in three ways: it encourages the reading of continuous texts from the start; it offers generous help with translation at every stage; and it integrates the learning of Classical Latin with an appreciation of the influence of the Latin language upon English and European culture from antiquity to the present. The text, richly illustrated, consists at the start of carefully graded adaptations from original Classical Latin texts. The adaptations are gradually phased out until unadulterated prose and verse can be read. There is an accompanying Grammar and Exercises volume which completes the course, although the present volume could be used as self-standing beginner's reader if desired. This second edition has been fully revised and updated, with a new chapter on early Roman history.
