L'art d'aimer is a work by the Roman poet Ovid, written in Latin and published in 2 AD. The poem offers advice on seduction and love, aimed at both men and women. With an ingenious and provocative style, Ovid addresses topics such as finding a partner, courtship, maintaining the relationship, and overcoming love problems. This French edition by Gallimard, published in 1974, presents the work in paperback format.
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.
