MARTIAL'SEPIGRAMS Hardback - 2008
by Wills, Garry
Bawdy and biting epigrams,freshly translated, ready forenjoyment.
One of literature's greatest satirists, Martialearned his livelihood by excoriating the follies andvices of his time, and set a pattern that satirists haveadmired and imitated across the ages. Born in Spain,Marcus Valerius Martialis (c. 40102 CE), known inEnglish as Martial, went to Rome as a young man towin fame and fortune. At the height of his career hepublished a book of scathing social commentary everyyear--1,500 poems in all, of which Wills translatesabout a third.
This exquisite translation from acclaimed authorGarry Wills does not sacrifice the cleverly constructedeffects of Martial's short and shapely thrusts. Martial'sEpigrams make addictive reading and a perfect--ifnaughty--gift.
