PENGUIN Metamorphoses

The book has 723 numbered pages and another 41 pages of introduction. All of this for a cover price of £9.99 (I paid €11.34). There have to be compromises at this price point, and if I have to find a defect it's that the cover could be sturdier. As for the contents, the book finishes with 34 pages of notes, a 50-page glossary, and two maps. I suppose it was an editorial choice to put the notes at the end of the book, so as not to interrupt the flow of the story, rather than putting them at the bottom of the page they refer to. This means I have to use two bookmarks, one to keep my place in the book, the other to keep my place in the notes. I would have prefered the notes as footnotes, but that is my personal preference. Anyway, it's something I can live with. Regarding the translation, I don't read Latin so I have no way of knowing how faithful it is, but it seems fine to me. If you want an inexpensive copy of one of the world's classic books, this is a good choice.

Such a amazing book and the cover is just splendid

Highly recommend for mythology lovers!

Se ve bien en contenido del libro, tiene notas, glosario y mapa del mediterraneo al final del libro, asi como el material complementerio al inicio del libro, lo que más me puedo quejar de él es que llego maltratado de la portada, pero me lo esperaba por tan barato, aun así deberían de especificar si tiene algún desperfecto o es usado, el tamaño de letra es bueno, al igual que la impresión pero el papel no me agrada nada lo más parecido que lo puedo comparar es a un delgado papel periódico, un color gris y un tacto parecido.

This verse translation of Ovid seems to be what I was looking for- it has a rich introduction to every chapter and notes providing additional information. Recommendable!
