The Love Books
The Love Books Ovid – The Love Books of Ovid is a collection of four works of Roman poet Ovids verses on love in English prose translation.

This volume collects the poets following works: The Loves, The Art of Love, Loves Cure, and The Art of Beauty. Ovid was an innovator in the writing of love poetry in that he changed the focus of the poem from the poet to love itself and examined the effect of love on people. These works were considered controversial in their time and many scholars believe that Ovids The Art of Love was the cause of his life-long banishment by Augustus to a remote province on the Black Sea.

Elegien der Liebe
Die Amores (Elegien der Liebe) gehören zu den bekanntesten Werken des römischen Dichters Ovid. Die «Elegien der Liebe» sind eine Sammlung von Elegien (Klage- oder Liebesgedichte mit oft sehnsuchtsvoller und schwermütiger Grundstimmung), in denen der Erzähler Naso als gewitzter, aber auch nachdenklicher Liebhaber einer fiktiven Liebesgespielin, Corinna, erscheint. Insgesamt handelt es sich um eine Sammlung von Gedichten, die in drei Büchern zusammengefasst sind. Trotz aller Sehnsucht und mancher Schwermut sind die Liebesgedichte amüsant zu lesen, weil Ovid darin allerlei kluge Tipps gibt, wie man zu einer Liebhaberin gelangt, sie beeindruckt, betört, verführt, aber auch ihren Täuschungen entgeht. So geht es in den «Elegien der Liebe» um Liebesbeichten, Treue und Verrat, Eifersucht, Liebeskünste und das Ausschalten von Nebenbuhlern. Mit jedem Gedicht werden neue Beobachtungen Ovids thematisiert. Was mit Wortgewalt und manchmal schwülstigem Ton daherkommt, ist jedoch eine anschauliche Darstellung der Verwirrungen, Eifersüchte und Triebe der Menschen. Auch wenn die Gedichte rund 2.000 Jahre alt sind, sind sie nicht nur eine Quelle über das Leben im alten Rom. Das meiste, was Ovid über Liebende und die Hindernisse der Liebe erzählt, ist auch heute noch wie aus dem Alltag gegriffen. 100% Klassiker: vollständig, kommentiert, relevant, zitierbar.

Liebeskunst
Wie erobert man das Herz einer Frau? Wie hält man die Liebe frisch? Und: Welche Liebesstellung ist die beste?In seinem Lehrbuch «Liebeskunst» gibt Ovid Ratschläge. Zwei Drittel davon richten sich an den Mann – hat er sie etwa nötiger? – ein Drittel an die Frau, Tipps zur Schönheitspflege inbegriffen. Auch wenn manches 2000 Jahre später nur noch bedingt zu empfehlen ist: Bis heute wird die «Liebeskunst» eifrig gelesen, nicht nur von Altphilologen.
The Metamorphoses
Perhaps one of the most influential works ever written, «The Metamorphoses» is an epic and narrative poem by the Roman writer Ovid. Finished in 8 AD, this work, organized into fifteen books, combines a stunning arrangement of mythological tales that are masterfully connected by a theme of transformation, most often through love. Beginning with the world's creation, the poet utilizes unparalleled wit to describe the history of the world, incorporating the most commonly known Greek and Roman myths and legends of his time in a style both dramatic and mischievous. Ovid's often sensuous poems weave together the tales of Daedalus and Icarus, Pygmalion, Persueus and Andromeda, the Trojan War, and the deification of Augustus, frequently changing the human men and women into remarkable beings through magic that rivals the gods. The best known classical work to writers during the medieval period and influencing other great artists such as Shakespeare and Titian, «The Metamorphoses» is a work that will continue to endure and inspire throughout the ages.
