In the annals of ancient literature, the poetry of Catullus stands as a testament to the universal experiences of love, loss, and the human condition. This Carcanet Classics edition brings together a comprehensive collection of Catullus's works, offering readers an immersive journey into the mind and heart of one of Rome's most celebrated poets.
A Master of Passion and Poignancy
Gaius Valerius Catullus, who lived from 84 to 54 BC, was a master of capturing the complexities of human emotion. His poems are characterized by their raw intensity, vivid imagery, and a profound understanding of the human psyche.
Love was a central theme in Catullus's poetry. He celebrated its joys and ecstasies in verses that are both passionate and tender. The collection includes some of his most famous love poems, such as "Lesbia, let's live and love" and "I hate and I love."
However, Catullus was also no stranger to loss and heartbreak. The death of his beloved brother plunged him into deep grief, which he expressed in some of his most poignant poems. The collection includes "On the Death of His Brother" and "To His Mournful Friend Veranius," which explore the depths of human suffering.
Universal Themes, Timeless Appeal
