{"product_id":"translating-rome-robert-graves-9781857546682","title":"Translating Rome","description":"Featuring translations of three classical Roman works--Apuleius's \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Ass\u003c\/i\u003e, Lucan's \u003ci\u003ePharsalia\u003c\/i\u003e, and Suetonius's \u003ci\u003eThe Twelve Ceasars\u003c\/i\u003e--this collection is vital to the understanding of Roman culture and history. \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Ass \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of a young man who, through his own stupidity, is turned into a donkey, thus beginning his rollicking quest to regain his human form through worship of the gods Isis and Osiris. \u003ci\u003ePharsalia \u003c\/i\u003eis an epic poem that chronicles the conflict between Julius Caesar and the senator Pompey in northern Greece around 48 BC. \u003ci\u003eThe Twelve Ceasars\u003c\/i\u003e is a biography of the Roman rulers from Julius Caesar to Domitian, a vivid and racy account of the sex, politics, and violence that constituted their experiences as Rome's most powerful men. Rife with the delights and excesses of Roman culture, these three works are a portal into the world of one of history's largest empires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Graves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1857546687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857546682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.90w x 2.20d","brand":"Robert Graves","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48486206472447,"sku":"9781857546682","price":60.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9fe28f6-26ea-4afe-a8df-cb12c695485a.jpg?v=1778054359","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/translating-rome-robert-graves-9781857546682","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
