«El arte de amar» is Ovid's didactic poem, published by Edimat Libros in paperback (152 pages, in Spanish).
Known as Ars amatoria, this didactic poem from classical Rome offers rules of conduct for courtship: the first book teaches how to win the beloved woman, the second how to keep her, and the third is addressed to women. A manual of love in verse with surprisingly relevant lessons.
Part of the «Clásicos de la literatura universal» collection, number 54, and includes the complete text with an introduction.
Intended for lovers of classical literature and poetry, as well as for those new to Latin authors.
Publius Ovidius Naso, known in English as Ovid, was a Roman poet who lived during the reign of Augustus. He was a younger contemporary of Virgil and Horace, with whom he is often ranked as one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature. The Imperial scholar Quintilian considered him the last of the Latin love elegists. Although Ovid enjoyed enormous popularity during his lifetime, the emperor Augustus exiled him to Tomis, the capital of the newly organised province of Moesia, on the Black Sea, where he remained for the last nine or ten years of his life. Ovid himself attributed his banishment to a carmen et error, but his reluctance to disclose specifics has resulted in much speculation among scholars.
