A Everett Beek

Princeps Felix et Aliae Fabulae A Everett Beek

This collection contains four classic, heartwarming stories by Oscar Wilde: "The Happy Prince," "The Nightingale and the Rose," "The Devoted Friend," and "The Selfish Giant," all translated into classical Latin. The translation preserves Wilde's accessible yet elegant style and good-natured satire, while the level of Latin should be accessible to students who have completed introductory Latin grammar and are ready to read classical texts. A Latin-English glossary is included to cover neo-Latin coinages for modern terms, as well as obscure classical terms. The book also includes new illustrations by the translator.
