by Ovidio (Author), Antonio Ramírez de Verger (Translator)

El arte de amar permite observar una de las esferas más íntimas de la sociedad romana: los preceptos que se consideraban infalibles en el arte del cortejo.


Mientras podéis y vivís todavía años primaverales, divertíos: los años se van como el agua que corre.


Así anima Ovidio a mujeres y hombres jóvenes que deseen encontrar un amor fácil. El arte de amar pertenece a la primera etapa creadora de Publio Ovidio Nasón (43 a.C. - 17 d.C.), uno de los poetas latinos más leídos y estudiados, y fuente inigualable de inspiración para artistas posteriores. Este clásico permite observar una de las esferas más íntimas de la sociedad romana: los preceptos que se consideraban infalibles en el arte del cortejo. Para Ovidio, el amor es un juego peligroso que posee sus propias reglas y condiciones, y éstas han de ser dominadas para que tanto hombres como mujeres logren el objetivo deseado.


Una mirada actual advertirá las evidentes diferencias morales y culturales de la sociedad romana, al tiempo que se sorprenderá de los ingeniosos comentarios acerca de los aspectos más mundanos del amor: desde el maquillaje y la moda, hasta los celos y los afrodisíacos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Art of Love offers a glimpse into one of the most intimate spheres of Roman society: the supposedly infallible rules of courtship.


"While you can and still live in springtime years, enjoy yourself: the years flow away like running water."


With these words, Ovid encourages young women and men seeking easy love. The Art of Love belongs to the early creative period of Publius Ovid Naso (43 BCE - 17 CE), one of the most widely read and studied Latin poets, and an unmatched source of inspiration for later artists. This classic reveals the intimate codes of Roman courtship, offering a playful yet strategic view of love as a game with its own rules and conditions--rules that must be mastered by both men and women to achieve their desired outcome.


Modern readers will notice the stark moral and cultural differences of Roman society, while also being surprised by Ovid's witty observations on the everyday aspects of love: from makeup and fashion to jealousy and aphrodisiacs.
