Description

Learn Latin presents in handy book form the brilliant QED series of teach-yourself Latin articles which have captivated thousands of readers of the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph. In twenty weeks, these readers were able to learn enough Latin to read from the Bayeux tapestry, the love-poet Catullus, Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, St. Jerome’s Vulgate (the Bible in Latin) and much else. If you have ever hankered after a basic introduction to this great language, which covers just enough to read the real thing (and no more), this is the book you have been waiting for. If you have ever wanted to know what lies at the heart of languages like French, Spanish and Italian, today spoken by 600 million people all over the world, or if you have ever been fascinated by the workings of language and the richness and precision of English (half of which is Latin), Learn Latin will prove a rich source of enlightenment and pleasure.
