In fifteenth century Spain, Celestina manipulates the love lives of
rich and poor alike. But she always manages to do it to her own
advantage.
Presented via the natural method by Hans orberg, "Ars Amatoria"
("The Art of Love") allows students to read lightly altered Latin
texts. The text is a poem in three books by Ovid. The first two
books consist of instructions to men on the wooing of women of easy
virtue; the third, of instructions to woman on seduction of men.
The work is full of humor and charm, and contains interesting
glimpses of Roman life and manners--the circus, the theatre, the
banquet. It was perhaps partly on account of its immorality that
Augustus banished the poet to Tomi by the Black Sea. These poems
can be read by students who have completed the first five chapters
of orberg's second-year text "Roma Aeterna." ("Lingua Latina Pars
II"), also available from Focus.
This is the instructor's manual to accompany Cine-Module 2: Manon
des Sources.
The short stories in this bilingual anthology are from the works of
some of the great masters of the German literary tradition -
including Goethe, Glister, Mann, and Kafka - and offer a
representative collection illustrating the development of German
fiction from the late eighteenth to the late twentieth centuries.
