The Latin Tamer

"Learn Latin through examples written in the language itself. For beginners or advanced students, The Latin Tamer brings the language of Rome within anyone's reach. Using thousands of quotations, The Latin Tamer is distinctively written and organized with the clarity found in all of Ward Farnsworth's books.

Every aspect of the language is illustrated with a quotation-almost all from ancient sources. You'll always have the fun of reading the real thing. And the examples are short and explained on the spot, so you'll never be confused about what the words mean and why.

The Latin Tamer can teach anyone the language by itself or be used with other resources. And Farnsworth will help readers acquire a smattering of Latin if they don't have years to spend on it. Since every quotation is explained, readers can (if they like) just read the quotations and absorb as they go without memorizing.

This will acquaint even the most casual reader with some of Latin's charms. The Latin Tamer is especially suited for anyone interested in Stoicism and other philosophical ideas from Ancient Rome. As the author of The Practicing Stoic and The Socratic Method, Ward Farnsworth draws example after example from some of the greatest thinkers the world has ever known.

For lifelong learners of all kinds, The Latin Tamer is a treat for the mind and the key to unlock an ancient treasure"-- Provided by publisher.
