This text serves as an introduction to the life and works of the Roman poet Ovid. Written in a formal and somewhat academic style, the prose reflects the literary conventions of a previous century. You will encounter sophisticated vocabulary and complex sentence structures that require careful attention. The themes focus on classical education, the pursuit of knowledge, and the historical context of ancient literature. It is a challenging read for those who prefer modern, concise Spanish, but it offers a rich look at classical biography.

Questions about this book
What level of Spanish do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 2 h at a native pace, spread over 4 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
