Learn Latin with Philinos and Arsinoe - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

A lost Latin romance-now reborn for readers and learners.
Historia Philini et Arsinoes is an original Latin novel in the spirit of Apuleius and Heliodorus: a tale of sacred love, wandering, memory, and reunion, set in the richly imagined world of Roman Egypt. Follow the intertwined destinies of Philinos and Arsinoe, a temple singer and a seeker of forgotten voices, as they journey through exile, ritual, silence, and revelation.

This interlinear edition presents the full Latin text in authentic Golden/Silver Age prose (c. AD 100), line by line with a faithful English rendering beneath. Ideal for upper-intermediate to advanced learners (CEFR B1-C2), it offers:

• ✦ Elegant, idiomatic Latin modeled on Historia Apollonii, Aethiopica, and Metamorphoses
• ✦ Line-by-line English translation for maximum support without disrupting rhythm
• ✦ Real Roman culture: temples, rituals, geography, and speech without anachronism
• ✦ Essential themes: chaste love, exile, divine justice, and sacred identity
• ✦ Perfect for independent reading or classroom use in Latin courses, classics seminars, or medieval/Renaissance studies

Whether you are a student, teacher, autodidact, or passionate Latinist, Historia Philini et Arsinoes invites you into a world where love sings, silence speaks, and the river never forgets.
