Science of love: Publi Ovid

Eternal issues of love relationships – how to find and win your love, how to achieve mutual passion and how to hold it – have not changed over the past millennia. Exact, ironic, piquant – and still modern – the great Roman poet Publius Ovid Nazon (43 BC – 17 BC) in the poems “Science of Love” and “Medicine for Love” gave the answers to them. The lessons of love science, equally useful for both men and women, led to the scandal and exile of the poet – and immortalized his name.
The book also includes the famous “metamorphoses” of Ovid. In the mythological plots of this virtuoso poem, great artists and poets of the Middle Ages and Renaissance drew inspiration: Titian, Bernini, Petrarch, Bokkaccio and many others.
