Living with a dead language : my romance with Latin / Ann Patty. - x, 242 pages ; 22 cm
After thirty-five years as a book editor in New York, Ann Patty stopped working and moved to the country.

Her study opened unexpected windows into her life, and along the way, she met an impassioned group of professors, students and classicists outside of academia who keep Latin very much alive. Written with humor, heart, and an infectious enthusiasm for words, Patty's book is an object lesson in how learning and literature can transform the past and lead to an unexpected future. --
