{"product_id":"2940150421165","title":"Horae Latinae: Robert Ogilvie's Studies in Synonyms and Syntax","description":"Latin lovers will love this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThose who study English may wonder why we drive on the parkway and park in the driveway...or why we cut a tree down and then cut it up...or why we can give someone a million thanks but not a hundred thousand.  Knowing a language means knowing its quirks, its special usages, and some of the things that it just never as a matter of fact says. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHorae Latinae helps you with some of the finer points of Latin.  It will tell you the differences between opto and spero; plerique and plurimi; magis and plus; pecunia and nummus; necessitas and necessitudo; novus and recens; nunc and iam; aspectus and conspectus; and many other easily confused expressions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrongly recommended for upper intermediate, advanced, and professional levels, this book (or something quite like it) is in fact essential for all who are seeking a more precise understanding of the language. Superabundant examples make this work appealing as an inexpensive textbook, a standard reference for translators, a Latin phrasebook, or an ancillary workbook in all courses on Latin prose composition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the more than 480 keywords and expressions, here is a small excerpt: Last \/ Too late \/ Lately \/ Latin \/ Laugh \/ Learn \/ At least \/ Legislator \/ Leisure \/ Lend \/ Much less \/ Letter \/ In a letter \/ Liberty \/ Life \/ Light \/ Lightning \/ Like \/ Likely \/ Little \/ How little \/ Live \/ Long (adjective) \/ Long (adverb) \/ For a long while \/ No longer \/ Lose \/ Love \/ Lungs \/ Macedonian \/ Magnanimity \/ Majesty \/ Make a speech \/ Man \/ How many \/ Forced march \/ Marriage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHorae Latinae explains Latin's own particular way of expressing such ideas, and it alerts Latinists to possible traps and misunderstandings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis unique edition is revised, corrected, and slightly expanded; it has now been freshly formatted into (searchable) digital text (not a photographic reproduction).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTotal Word Count: over 143,000","brand":"Claude Pavur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112533016816,"sku":"2940150421165","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150421165_p0.jpg?v=1763745613","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150421165","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
