Description: A modern person's guide to the ancient language If Latin is good enough for Caesar, it's good enough for you. And some things just sound far better in the old tongue. No longer "the dead language," Latin has been given a whole new lease of life in a manner befitting 21st century folk and their daily chit chat. From navigating the internet and MySpace to plastic surgery and binge drinking, this language lover's bible guarantees you'll go down in a storm when you're invited to the Vatican.
Notes: Parallel text in English and Latin.
