An undeniable masterpiece of Western Civilization, The Metamorphoses is a continuous narrative that covers all the Olympian legends, seamlessly moving from one story to another in a splendid panorama of savage beauty, charm, and wit. All of the gods and heroes familiar to us are represented. Such familiar legends as Hercules, Perseus and Medusa, Daedelus and Icarus, Diana and Actaeon, and many others, are breathtakingly recreated.

The Metamorphoses by Publius Ovidius Naso (43 B.C. - A.D. 17) has, over the centuries, been the most popular and influential work from our classical tradition. This extraordinary collection of some 250 Greek and Roman myths and folk tales has always been a popular favorite, and has decisively shaped western art and literature from the moment it was completed in A.D. 8. The stories are particularly vivid when read by David Horovitch, in this new lively verse translation by Ian Johnston.

Ovid's sensuous and witty poem brings together a dazzling array of mythological tales, ingeniously linked by the idea of transformation, often as a result of love or lust, in which men and women find themselves magically changed into new and sometimes extraordinary beings. Beginning with the creation of the world and ending with the deification of Augustus, Ovid interweaves many of the best known myths and legends of ancient Greece and Rome.

The diary and letters I wrote when I experienced the coup d'état that ousted Salvador Allende in Chile on Tuesday morning, 11 September 1973. This coup was carefully planned by the Chilean elite with the help of the CIA, and included propaganda, economic sabotage, torture, total press censorship, assassination, and a radical free market revolution leading to a gross gap between rich and poor.

I was plunged into such a deep shock and sadness, that I was forced to ask myself what had gone wrong. Why would my lifelong friend Tom, raised on the farm by a wonderful mom and dad exactly like I had been, end up doing such a horrible thing as abusing minors? Why in the world would such a thing ever happen in such an extraordinary, loving and close-knit family as that of Tom! Why?

Quand je me préparais à devenir prêtre et missionnaire il y a 52 ans - j'avais alors 23 ans et vivais à Ottawa - j’ai rédigé deux mémoires en vue de ma maîtrise en philosophie. Le premier mémoire portait sur le psychothérapeute américain Carl Rogers et le second sur le philosophe français Aimé Forest.

Cuando me preparaba para ser sacerdote y misionero hace cincuenta y siete años realicé dos investigaciones para mi máster en filosofía. La primera era sobre el psicoterapeuta estadounidense Carl Rogers y la segunda sobre el filósofo francés Aimé Forest. Hoy, con la retrospectiva que me permite medio siglo, estoy muy impresionado por el hecho de que las visiones del mundo que subyacen a la terapia centrada en la persona de Carl Rogers y al enfoque filosófico de Aimé Forest, que son sorprendentemente similares en aspectos fundamentales, siguen siendo no sólo muy relevantes.

The Roman poet Publius Ovidius Naso (Ovid) is best known for his epic poem Metamorphoses, a collection of myths and legends from Ancient Greece and Rome. His works continue to be widely read and admired, and he is regarded as one of the most significant poets of ancient Rome. Ovid’s love poems are both brilliant and evocative. In Amores, the romantic mysteriousness of elegiac love-poetry is exploded by his witty and ironic treatment of the form. Ars Amatoria and Remedia Amoris both lay down the rules for the game of love, which both sexes can play.

"Aussitôt Atlas, du haut jusqu'en bas, fut transformé en montagne. Ses cheveux devinrent forêts, ses épaules crêtes, sa tête cime, ses os rochers. Il s'allongea démesurément, et sur lui reposait le vaste ciel, avec toutes ses étoiles." Ovide nous entraîne aux côtés des divinités et des héros les plus célèbres de l'Antiquité. Jupiter s'affirme en tant que maître du monde, Narcisse adore son propre reflet, tandis que Persée multiplie les exploits... Aventure, amour, défis et prouesses, un monde à la fois réaliste et merveilleux s'ouvre à vous.

Students sometimes ask questions whose depth is such that teachers have trouble coming up with answers. That is what happened to me on January 31, 1984, as I was teaching my Introduction to Economics course at Maisonneuve College in Montreal, Canada. Suddenly, a student raised her hand and asked me with great sincerity: “Sir, what makes the world go round, love or money?” Taken aback by the simplicity and depth of her question, I remained silent for a few seconds, made a few comments, and, remembering the lessons I had learned, asked them what they thought the answer was.

Depuis le début de sa papauté en 2013, le pape François se fait remarquer et admirer par ses prises de position étonnamment progressistes par rapport à la justice sociale et l’environnement. Et il dénonce haut et fort le cléricalisme qui existe dans l’Église catholique et a posé de nombreux gestes pour montrer qu’il cherche, comme pape, à s’en éloigner: il a choisi de vivre dans la résidence modeste Santa Marta au lieu des appartements pontificaux traditionnels; il a choisi une voiture usagée pour ses déplacements au lieu d’une limousine.

Desde el inicio de su papado en 2013, el papa Francisco ha sido elogiado y admirado por sus opiniones progresistas sobre la justicia social y la crisis climática. Y también ha denunciado el clericalismo que existe en la Iglesia católica y ha dado muchos pasos para demostrar que, como papa, quiere alejarse de ese clericalismo: eligió vivir en la modesta residencia de Santa Marta en lugar de los tradicionales apartamentos papales; eligió que le llevaran en un coche usado en lugar de la tradicional limusina papal.

Since the beginning of his papacy in 2013, Pope Francis has been praised and admired for his surprisingly progressive views on social justice and the climate crisis. And he has also been vocal about the clericalism that exists in the Catholic Church and taken many steps to show that he, as pope, wants to move away from such clericalism: he chose to live in the modest Santa Marta residence instead of the traditional papal apartments; he chose to be driven around in a used car instead of the traditional papal limousine.

When I was preparing to become a priest and missionary 52 years ago, I was then 23 years old and living in Ottawa. I wrote two memoirs for my master’s degree in philosophy. The first memoir was on the American psychotherapist Carl Rogers and the second one on the French philosopher Aimé Forest.

L'art d'aimer, selon Ovide, c'est d'abord l'art de séduire. Bien avant que les agences de rencontres et les entreprises de séduction modernes existent, Ovide prodiguait ses conseils. C'était au 1er siècle de notre ère, mais lorsqu'on l'entend dire : " Qui que tu sois, n'aie qu'une faible confiance dans les charmes trompeurs de la beauté ; ajoute d'autres avantages à ces mérites du corps. Ce qui gagne surtout les cœurs, c'est une adroite complaisance".

In February 1864, 500 Union prisoners of war arrived at the Confederate stockade at Anderson Station, Georgia. Andersonville, as it was later known, would become legendary for its brutality and mistreatment, with the highest mortality rate--more than 30 percent--of any Civil War prison. Fourteen months later 32,000 men were imprisoned there.

How to Get Over a Breakup presents an unabashedly modern prose translation of Ovid's lighthearted and provocative work, complete with a lively introduction. Ovid's advice—which he illustrates with ingenious interpretations of classical mythology—ranges from the practical, psychologically astute, and profound to the ironic, deliberately offensive, and bizarre.
