The letters offer a glimpse into Horace's life and times, his thoughts on philosophy, and his views on literature and art. Horace was a master of satire and wit, and his letters are full of humor and incisive observations on human nature. Horace is often grouped among other great Roman authors of satire including Juvenal and Persius. A prolific writer, he was often concerned with the human condition and the search for happiness and fulfillment. Throughout his writings, he sought to instruct as he delighted, with many of his most famous works accomplishing both. In this volume, as in much of the author's work, the reader gains insight into the world of Augustan Rome as lived by this esteemed author. The historical and cultural context of Horace's writing is brought to life through his words, revealing the social and political climate of the Roman Empire during his lifetime.
