Excerpt from Ad Alpes, cap. 13–26

Ad Alpes: A Tale of Ro­man Life by H.C. Nut­ting is a long, con­tinu­ous, and var­ied nar­rat­ive in ex­cel­lent Lat­in, tra­cing the jour­ney of a Ro­man fam­ily through the an­cient world. Its over­arch­ing frame sto­ry con­tains with­in it many short­er stor­ies, each of which is full of in­terest.

This de­light­ful book is a valu­able sup­ple­ment to any up­per in­ter­me­di­ate course be­cause it pro­vides the learn­er with what is of­ten miss­ing: lots of ex­tens­ive read­ing. It helps build lan­guage abil­ity and con­fid­ence and, above all, it is fun!
