{"product_id":"metamorphoses-9780393058109","title":"Metamorphoses","description":"Ovid's epic poem whose theme of change has resonated throughout the ages has become one of the most important texts of Western imagination, an inspiration from Dante's time to the present day, when writers such as Salman Rushdie and Italo Calvino have found a living source in Ovid's work. In this new, long-anticipated translation of \u003cem\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/em\u003e, Charles Martin combines a close fidelity to Ovid's text with verse that catches the speed and liveliness of the original. Portions of the translation have already appeared in such publications as \u003cem\u003eArion, The Formalist, The Tennessee Quarterly\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eTriQuarterly\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMartin, Charles:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eCharles Martin\u003c\/strong\u003e was born in New York City in 1942.
