For students of Latin - even those at an advanced level - reading
original works by Latin authors can be daunting. Students must
remember a seemingly endless array of grammatical rules and
vocabulary, and often the material to be translated seems dull and
lengthy beyond endurance. Here P. L. Chambers overcomes these
challenges through her engaging presentation of the writings of
Pliny the Elder. Pliny the Elder (23-79 a.d.) was a military
officer and imperial administrator of the early Roman Empire. His
avid interest in natural phenomena led him to write the Natural
Histories, an encyclopedic work encompassing subjects as diverse as
astronomy, geography, biology, zoology, botany, medicine, and
gemology. The passages from the Natural Histories included here for
translation are enjoyable to read and revealing of what
first-century Romans thought about their world. Accompanying the
Latin texts are the following features: Quick grammatical reviews
at the start of each chapter Examples from the Latin passages that
demonstrate relevant grammatical topics Sentence exercises based on
the original text End-of-chapter vocabulary lists specific to the
chapter readings Grammatical tables at the end of the book for
quick reference A glossary that includes basic vocabulary A
teacher's key, available to instructors upon request
Classroom-tested by the author, this appealing reader motivates
students to continue their study of Latin and provides a welcome
alternative for instructors seeking accessible textbooks for their
students.
