Mons Spes, et novellæ aliæ

The volume assembles Latin translations of several modern short stories by different English-language authors, preceded by an introduction arguing for teaching Latin through pleasant, readable modern narratives to encourage familiar use and fluent reading; the translations, executed with close attention to classical vocabulary and idiom, render varied tales—ranging from intimate character sketches to suspenseful incidents—into Latin accessible to students, while editorial remarks emphasize the translator’s scholarship and the pedagogical aim of combining linguistic training with enjoyable reading.
