The Joy of Horace

I was only vaguely familiar with Horace's works and only picked this up when I saw that Raffel had done the translations. What a joy this collection has been! Whether riffing on "Virtue & Vengeance", ensuring that "Hell Is Certain For Greedy Landlords", or rhapsodizing on the fact that "Wine Was Made For Miracles", the translations of Horace are a ride from anger to delight.
