El arte de amar

This lively translation brings to ear a centuries‑old Roman handbook on desire, offering step‑by‑step counsel on finding a beloved, winning affection, and keeping the flame alive.

Its author’s daring verses eventually contributed to his exile, a dramatic reminder of how love and politics could collide in the ancient world. Through this audio rendition, you’ll explore the blend of personal ambition, social etiquette, and timeless longing that still resonates today.
