"il latino è "esso", la "cosa" più meravigliosa. è un arricchimento mentale, un miglioramento del carattere, un'esperienza avvincente, emozionante, profondamente appagante e preziosa. La mia ferma determinazione è di non risparmiare sforzi per rendergli giustizia, come la sua importanza esige". Il signor gwynne, autore del fenomeno bestseller del sunday times gwynne's grammar, è altrettanto enfatico sull'importanza del latino quanto lo è sull'importanza della grammatica. Dal principiante al più esperto, gwynne's latin è essenziale per chiunque sia interessato a imparare il latino; il signor gwynne promette di insegnarti più latino in mezz'ora di quanto ne impareresti in anni di insegnamento del latino a scuola. Include anche un'affascinante sezione sull'uso quotidiano del latino, che discute tutte le parole e gli idiomi latini che usiamo ancora oggi, come "quid pro quo" e "sui generis". Sebbene non abbiamo bisogno di ulteriori convinzioni (come sappiamo, il signor gwynne non sbaglia mai), ecco solo alcuni dei tanti motivi per cui il latino è assolutamente meraviglioso: - il latino è una materia accademica abbastanza facile da comprendere per i meno intelligenti di noi tutti gli elementi di base, e tuttavia abbastanza difficile da essere impegnativa per i suoi più grandi studiosi. - per oltre mille anni è stato il mezzo di comunicazione che ha unito l'intera europa culturalmente e in ogni altro modo significativo. - è l'antenato diretto, tra loro, delle cinque lingue europee più parlate e di entrambe le lingue ufficiali del sud america. - è l'antenato e la fonte di più della metà della lingua inglese, in parte direttamente e in parte attraverso il francese, che per alcuni secoli è stata la lingua ufficiale dell'inghilterra. Seguendo le stesse orme splendidamente progettate della grammatica di gwynne, il latino di gwynne ti insegnerà tutti i fondamenti del latino in modo rapido, approfondito e meglio di tutta la concorrenza.

Mr Gwynne is the much loved and passionate educator who is on a crusade. He believes in old-fashioned values, that the modern school system is hopeless – and that keen and close study is the only way to become an enlightened and better person. Now living in County Wexford, Ireland, and in his 70s, N M Gwynne was formerly a successful businessman in London and Australia. On retirement in the 1980s, he took up teaching and soon found that his traditional methods, universal up to the 1960s and refined and perfected century after century up till then, had become all but unique. Subjects he has been teaching – in classrooms, in lecture halls, and nowadays mostly privately – include English, Latin, Greek, French, German, mathematics, history, classical philosophy, natural medicine, the elements of music, and "How to start up and run your own business”. He has taught all over the world and thanks to the internet and Skype, he has sometimes found himself, at different times in a single day, teaching as far apart as India, Europe and western USA.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Latin is "it", the most wonderful "thing". It is mind-enhancing, character-improving, enthralling, exciting, deeply satisfying, and valuable. My solid determination is to spare no pains to do it the justice that its importance demands. Mr Gwynne, author of the Sunday Times bestselling phenomenon Gwynnes Grammar, is just as emphatic about the importance of Latin as he is about the importance of grammar. From the novice to the more well-versed, Gwynnes Latin is essential for anyone interested in learning Latin; Mr Gwynne promises to teach you more Latin in half an hour than you would learn from years of being taught Latin at school. He also includes a fascinating section on everyday Latin usage, which discusses all the Latin words and idioms we still use today, such as quid pro quo and sui generis. Though we need no further convincing as we know, Mr Gwynne is never wrong here are just some of the many reasons why Latin is utterly wonderful: - Latin is an academic subject easy enough for the least intelligent of us to grasp all the basic elements of, and yet difficult enough to be demanding for its greatest scholars. - For well over a thousand years it was the means of communication that united the whole of Europe culturally and in every other significant way. - It is the direct ancestor of, between them, the five most widely-spoken European languages, and both of the official South American languages. - It is the ancestor and source of more than half of the English language, partly directly and partly through French, which for some centuries was Englands official language. Following in the same beautifully designed footsteps of Gwynnes Grammar, Gwynnes Latin will teach you all the fundamentals of Latin quickly, thoroughly and better than all the competition. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR005729242
