About this deal

We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Every year, the A-Level and GCSE results season brings with it the usual newspaper conjectures about standards, and the decline of Latin - the decline of declensions - is usually good for a carping letter or two. But, if you have the vaguest memory of the ablative absolute, the locative and the gerund, you mastery of Latin will spring back to life with Amo, amas, amat. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we're helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.

My Latin basics really were basic and not long lasting, as well as having been a very long time ago, so, I really need to start the basics all over again. I'm a partially-homeschooling mother of six -- 3 boys ages 19, 17 and 15 years old, and three girls: 11, 8, and 3. Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. If you studied Latin at school this will bring back fond memories, but even newcomers will be captivated by this witty and entertaining book.Cannily bringing in the usual jokey Latinist suspects, from Willans and Searle's Molesworth to John Cleese's irate centurion-cum-schoolmaster in The Life of Brian, Mount makes a good case for knowing a little Latin.

A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce.Reproduction is prohibited other than in accordance with the copyright notice, which forms part of these terms and conditions. There are also gross oversimplifications and Mount's enthusiasm for translating sense rather than literal meaning results in some 'translations' that are downright inaccurate.
