Book recommendation: Metamorphoses (Ovid)

I’ve recent­ly start­ed read­ing and, above all, lis­ten­ing to our selec­tion of Ovid’s Meta­mor­phoses again and can high­ly rec­om­mend the book, espe­cial­ly to advanced read­ers.

The Meta­mor­phoses, con­sist­ing of fif­teen books, is the best-known of Ovid’s works. In our edi­tion we’ve col­lect­ed some of the most famous tales, all explor­ing time­less themes such as love, death, resilience, and the inescapa­bil­i­ty of fate.

The cho­sen tales are:

• Pyra­mus and This­be
• Daedalus and Icarus
• Deu­calion and Pyrrha
• Bac­chus and Midas
• Orpheus and Eury­dice

In the record­ing of these pas­sages, Daniel has sought to respect and thus clear­ly con­vey the meter to the learn­er, while at the same time bring­ing the sto­ries to life with a care­ful atten­tion to the mean­ing and emo­tions expressed in the text.

You can down­load or open the book direct­ly here.

Hap­py read­ing! 😊
