Ovid in Love by Ovid ....Ovid knew all about love. If his auburn-haired Corinna existed she clearly gave him many a sleepless night. Ovid's Amores, written at the turn of an earlier millennium and translated here by Guy Lee with all the freshness intended
by the original author, is filled with a spirit that seems to belong to our own day. Passion, sensuality, frustration, euphoria, anger, jealousy, happiness -- they all mingle in poems which nonetheless never take themselves too seriously. Illustrated by John Ward's wonderful color drawings, Ovid in Love is the perfect gift. It will enchant the romantic in all of us, all the while exhibiting an infectious pleasure in the frustrations and sweet tortures of desire.
