Voces de largos ecos

With his pleasant, wise and eloquent prose, Carlos García Gual introduces us not only to the great authors of Greco-Roman culture, but also to good friends who can accompany us all our lives, because the classics are precisely those texts that tell us something in each reading. new. In this book we find Homer, the first author of Western literature; Euripides and Aristophanes, representatives of tragedy and laughter in Greek theater; the funny Luciano and the seductive Ovidio; the scandalous Petronius and the romantic Longo. But also Seneca, who still has so much to teach us to try to live a happier life, or two of the most important thinkers in history: Plato and Aristotle. In this invitation to read the classics, we discover that almost all literary genres were invented by Greek and Latin authors, from drama and comedy to epic; from history and biography to ethics and philosophy; from the adventure novel and the romance novel to satire and seduction manuals. Voices of Long Echoes offers us an incomparable panorama of the best of classical culture.
