Of all the classical poets Gaius Valerius Catullus (c. 84-54 BC) is the most accessible to the modern reader. Presented alongside the original Latin text, this new translation reflects Catullus' mastery of poetic forms as diverse as the lyric, the inventive epigram, and the romantic legend, and shows his passionate, and sometimes dedicated to his lover Lesbia. This edition also includes an introduction to the poet's life and work, and full explanatorynotes.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Catulo

Gaio Valério Catulo (c. 84 a. C.–c. 54 a. C.) foi um dos mais notáveis poetas da Roma republicana. Nascido em Verona, mudou-se jovem para Roma, onde se integrou no círculo dos poetae novi, ou neotéricos, que se inspiravam nos modelos da poesia helenística, nomeadamente em Calímaco e Safo, privilegiando a intensidade lírica, a subtileza formal e a dimensão pessoal da experiência poética, em oposição à poesia épica dominante.
Apesar da brevidade da sua vida — morreu com cerca de trinta anos —, Catulo deixou uma marca duradoura na literatura latina e europeia.
