A Very Well Written Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I have never heard of the poet Catullus before coming across this book. It is well written and quite interesting, unlike many scholarly works that are as dry as burnt toast! The previous reviewer must have been expecting a book on poetry! Sorry! But this is a book on ancient history, with poet Catullus as the focal point! The bottom line: Ancient Rome was an incredibly violent place, run by many unscrupulous and depraved individuals. Never ending murder, assassination and incredible brutality were the norm. It's a pleasure to learn that least one individual, the poet Catullus, could rise above the unending fray!
