It offers the full Latin text, commentary, and vocabulary, along with a detailed introduction that also encompasses the prescribed material to be read in English for A Level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJuvenal was the last and the greatest of the Roman verse satirists, and his poetry provides an exuberant and outrageously jaundiced view of the early Roman Empire. This book contains a selection from three of his satires: \u003ci\u003eSatire\u003c\/i\u003e 6 attacks women and marriage, \u003ci\u003eSatire\u003c\/i\u003e 14 critiques the role played by parents in the education of children, and \u003ci\u003eSatire\u003c\/i\u003e 15 describes, all too vividly, the cannibalism perpetrated by warring Egyptians. These \u003ci\u003eSatires\u003c\/i\u003e expose the folly and wickedness of the world in some of the finest Latin to have survived from antiquity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupporting resources are available on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbury.pub\/OCR-editions-2024-2026\"\u003eCompanion Website\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47463368360172,"sku":"9781350156524","price":38.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350156524-juvenal-satires-a-selection.jpg?v=1775032181","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/juvenal-satires-a-selection-9781350156524","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
