User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a translation from 1807 by J.J. Howard. It’s free, so maybe we shouldn’t complain about weird typos and such, but there’s something else that we ought to complain about: the translator’s note. In it, he admits to ‘chastening’ the text and making Ovid’s sometimes ‘prurient’ language more tolerable to the ever-so-fragile 19th century British sensibility.

⭐excellent condition

⭐Would a little info about origin be too much to ask–e.g., translator, date of publication, etc.? This sounds like a 17th or 18th century version.

⭐Good read. Download it. Get it for free on the Kindle. Read it. Enjoy it. Share it with everyone you know.

⭐An beautiful and entertaining version of Ovid’s magnum opus, this is a joy to read. Translations into English from the Latin can at times seem dry, as if sticking too closely to the original and may lack the wit and playful nature of Ovid’s original: that is not the case with this version however. Although this is a paraphrase of a kind, the spirit of Ovid is very much preserved in the wonderful flowing verse in this edition.Recommended!

⭐10/10

⭐In Latin, not English
