This fun, absorbing book, packed with quirky bite-sized lists,
quizzes and trivia, is an exploration of the Latin language, aiming
to prove that it is as vibrant and relevant today as it was 2,500
years ago. It includes sections on Latin in the movies, US state
mottoes and place names, and also some choice snippets from real
Latin poetry from Catullus, Horace and Virgil, with evocative
translations. It contains a fascinating section on the Roman
emperors and what they got up to, and gives the basics of the
language itself for anyone who would like to learn it. Quizzes
allow the reader to guess the names of famous books, songs and
James Bond films, cunningly translated into Latin. From the spells
in Harry Potter to the use of Latin in Asterix, to the Latin terms
that litter law and medicine to the meaning behind UK football club
mottoes, this book is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to
brush up their Latin, whether they studied it at school or not.
