AN NPR "BOOK WE LOVE" FOR SUMMER 2024 A gorgeously illustrated guide to memorable Latin phrases, including famous quotations on love, death, nature, politics, and more. Latin may be a "dead" language, but it's all around us--in science, philosophy, religion, and literature. From "carpe diem" to the more obscure "alea iacta est," classicist Maia Lee-Chin examines the deeper meanings of many Latin phrases still in use--as well as those lost to the ages. Illustrated in artist Marta Bertello's haunting style, this unique compendium illuminates ancient Roman history and culture like never before.
