Catullus Libros

The collection showcases the exquisite erotic poetry of Catullus, dedicated to his beloved Lesbia, capturing both the emotional depth and sharp wit of the original texts. Horace Gregory's translation preserves the lyrical beauty and satirical brilliance of Catullus while making it accessible for both students and casual readers. This edition features the Latin text alongside the English translation, complemented by twelve full-page illustrations by Zhenya Gay, enhancing the reading experience.

By turns rapturous, erotic and despairing, this astonishingly modern verse tells of an ancient Roman poet's all-consuming infatuation with one woman.

Der "wilde Catull" verfasste leidenschaftliche Gedichte über seine Liebe zu Lesbia sowie scharfe Angriffe auf persönliche und politische Gegner. Seine Verse spiegeln sowohl Glück als auch Leid wider und leben bis heute fort.
