Pliny's letters provide a fascinating insight into Roman life in the period 97 to 112 AD. They document politics, social life, religion, the educational system, the treatment of slaves and include a ...vivid description of the eruption of Vesuvius. This is a lively and sympathetic new translation.
In the year A.D. 8, Emperor Augustus sentenced the elegant, brilliant, and sophisticated Roman poet Ovid to exile—permanently, as it turned out—at Tomis, modern Constantza, on the Romanian coast of ...the Black Sea. The real reason for the emperor's action has never come to light, and all of Ovid's subsequent efforts to secure either a reprieve or, at the very least, a transfer to a less dangerous place of exile failed. Two millennia later, the agonized, witty, vivid, nostalgic, and often slyly malicious poems he wrote at Tomis remain as fresh as the day they were written, a testament for exiles everywhere, in all ages. The two books of the Poems of Exile, the Lamentations (Tristia) and the Black Sea Letters (Epistulae ex Ponto), chronicle Ovid's impressions of Tomis—its appalling winters, bleak terrain, and sporadic raids by barbarous nomads—as well as his aching memories and ongoing appeals to his friends and his patient wife to intercede on his behalf. While pretending to have lost his old literary skills and even to be forgetting his Latin, in the Poems of Exile Ovid in fact displays all his virtuoso poetic talent, now concentrated on one objective: ending the exile. But his rhetorical message falls on obdurately deaf ears, and his appeals slowly lose hope. A superb literary artist to the end, Ovid offers an authentic, unforgettable panorama of the death-in-life he endured at Tomis.

Rad iznosi pred čitatelja pregled pisaca koji su pisali poslanice, od antičke rimske književnost do europske renesansne književnosti. Nastoji se potvrditi posrednička uloga rimske književnosti između ...umjetničke književnosti grčke civilizacije te humanističke europske književnosti između XIV. i XVI. st. kada europski humanisti
otkrivaju "klasicitet" rukopisa s pismima Cicerona, Horacija, Ovidija, Seneke, Plinija Mlađega. Nadalje, na tragu hrvatske renesansne književnosti pokazat će se jezično zajedništvo naše renesansne književnosti, koja se jezicima otvara talijanskoj humanističkoj renesansnoj književnosti i antičkoj rimskoj književnosti. U
kronološkom pregledu zastupljeni su upravo oni pisci koji su bili uzorni pisci našim renesansnim pjesnicima, posebno piscima poslanica, našim humanističkim pjesnicima Quattrocenta. Završni dio rada donosi jednu Petrarkinu poslanicu te interpretaciju. Ona nastoji demonstrirati omiljene pjesničke postupke svojstvene poslanicama u stihu
(imaginarna komunikacija, epistolograf lirski i introspektivno komentira svoj osobni unutarnji svijet, javno-privatni karakter poslanica u odabranoj tematici i motivima).
