Discover the delights of Latin literature through twenty-four short passages about the lion, the bee, the dolphin, and the horse! The readings range from the first century B.C. to the eighteenth century A.D. Within each chapter the passages are arranged in order of difficulty, from intermediate to advanced. Comprehension is facilitated by extensive glosses and notes, printed opposite the texts, and by a wide variety of attractive illustrations (many in full color). All text is in Latin to create an immersive linguistic experience, but Animalia can be used by students who have learned Latin through any method. A complete Latin‐English glossary appears at the end. By James Faville and Michael Francis with Joseph DiProperzio and Steven Merola.  Rosanova Media.  144 pages.
