Via Latina: An Easy Latin Reader

By William Coe Collar and Clarence Willard Gleason

Book Overview

Via Latina provides the student of Latin with a marvellous way of pleasurably increasing their vocabulary and grasp of Latin idiom through reading a highly entertaining and varied selection of prose and verse, graded in increasing complexity. Stories include the Labours of Hercules and the Voyage of the Argonauts, followed by a collection of fables, the tales of the Roman Kings and finally the life of Julius Caesar, based upon the history of Suetonius. A full vocabulary is included with the addition of important synonyms. This edition is set with extra margin space to allow the reader to make his own notes. William Collar was one of the best Latin educators of his time and this classic work is a great way to make the ancient authors more accessible. His other books include "The Beginner's Latin Book" which is an excellent Latin primer for all ages and "The Gate to Caesar" ISBN-10: 1544781628 which prepares the more advanced reader to finally read Julius Caesar in his own words.
