Sorrows of an Exile: Tristia Tapa blanda - 1995
de Ovid; A. D. Melville (Translator); Introduction by E. J. Kenney
Descripción de contraportada
In AD 8 Ovid's brilliant career was suddenly ruined when the Emperor Augustus banished him to Tomis (Constanta) on the Black Sea. The five books of Tristia (Sorrows) express his reaction to this savage and, as he clearly regarded it, unjust sentence. Their title belies them. Although their ostensible theme is the misery and loneliness of exile, their real message is one of affirmation. With a wit and irony that borders on defiance Ovid repeatedly asserts his conviction of the injustice of his sentence and of the pre-eminence of the eternal values of poetry over the ephemeral dictates of an earthly power.
