 Este libro es un hito en la enseñanza académica del latín y debería ser ampliamente conocido y empleado.  Minkova and Tunberg invite students to consider the Latin text as a serious medium of expression more than as a source of grammatical illustrations or a puzzle to be translated into English. Who will find this new text useful? Everyone, we suspect, who wishes a direct contact with Latin and a chance to actively practice it. Paradoxically, Minkova and Tunberg bring Latin composition into the twenty-first century by seeking to revive skills as old as the language itself. In its variety of exercises lie this book's originality and value. By assigning these types of exercises the authors avoid being guilty of the charge that Latin composition exercises expect the student to know everything at once. Has as a supplement
Readings and Exercises in Latin Prose Composition provides a refreshing approach for the standard Latin composition course offered at the college level. This text encourages the student to think in Latin through the process of reading unedited Latin selections and then composing in Latin, as opposed to the process of translating back and forth into English. The book offers a number of highly structured composition exercises that introduce students to a deeper understanding of Latin grammar and prose as well as to greater facility in reading and understanding it.
