Fabulae Faciles
Francis Ritchie
There are 100 easy short stories for learners of Latin with a comprehensive vocabulary added.
The Fabulae Faciles, or 'Easy Stories.' are four Greek myths retold in Latin, not by a Roman writer, however, but by an Englishman, who believed that they would afford interesting and pleasant reading for young folks who were just beginning the study of the Latin language. By myth is meant an imaginative tale that has been handed down by tradition from remote antiquity concerning supernatural beings and events. Such tales are common among all primitive peoples, and are by them accepted as true. They owe their origin to no single author, but grow up as the untutored imagination strives to explain to itself the operations of nature and the mysteries of life, or amuses itself with stories of the brave exploits of heroic ancestors.
The most beautiful and delightful of all myths are those that have come down to us in the remains of the literature and the art of ancient Greece and Rome; they are also the most important to us, for many of the great masterpieces of English literature and of modern art have been inspired by them and cannot be understood and appreciated by one ignorant of classical mythology.
These 86 simple stories are a great way of practicing Latin and learning about ancient mythology at the same time. The stories are short and easy to read.
The stories in this book are suitable for second to fourth year learners of Latin. They come with footnotes explaining any unusual usage of words. They are first explained in English to give a general idea about what is going to happen. Each story is divided into short chapters that slowly get longer and more demanding. The stories are: The Argonauts, Ulysses, The Seven Kings of Rome, Fables, Gaius Julius Caesar, Alcibiades
The stories are specifically selected and adjusted to the needs of learners and offer an excellent resource for additional reading material in conjunction with any course or simply on their own as reading practice.
All the stories are entertaining and interesting.
This is the story of intrepid astronauts flying to the moon. It shows them proudly flying the American flag on the moon, driving around in their moon car and returning safely back to Earth.
Each page contains color photographs and Latin text. There is a glossary to explain difficult words so that this book can be read easily.
Volatus ad Lunam - The Flight to the Moon - is a great way for young readers to learn and practice Latin. The exciting subject matter will help to make Latin more interesting while learning about an important and fascinating part of American history.
After the popular edition of Puer Zingiberi Panis (The Gingerbread boy in Latin) follows the second volume of charming stories by Harriette Taylor Treadwell. Musici Bremae (the Bremen Band) continues the children's stories at a slightly higher level in language proficiency and is the perfect next step in learning Latin the easy way. All stories are accompanied by delightful pictures that make reading so much more fun.
The stories in this volume are: Felis et Mus, Porcelli Tres, Musici Bremae, Rubeculae Parvae Carmen Festum Dominicae, Bos stramineus, Puer et Vulpes, Mus Urbanus et Mus Rusticus, Puella Binoculata, Semipullus, Crista Parva, Piscator et Uxor, Puer et Aquilo, Ovis et Porcus
