Treatises on Friendship and Old Age
MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO, the greatest of Roman orators and the chief master of Latin prose style, was born at Arpinum, Jan. 3, 106 B.C. His father, who was a man of property and belonged to the class of the “Knights,” moved to Rome when Cicero was a child; and the future statesman received an elaborate education in rhetoric, law, and philosophy, studying and practising under some of the most noted teachers of the time.

Review by Jeremy M. Kirk for Treatises on Friendship and Old Age
Rating:
I am very fond of “De Amicitia” and picked up this translation to give it to a friend, but what I got was an unreadable mess. It is in an awful binding, very low-quality paper and printing, and the translation is complete garbage. It reads like it was translated by software, not to mention the 2-3 typos per page. There are no footnotes or index, and it’s clear the translator has no knowledge of Roman culture.
It as bad as a translation can be. And as awful of a product as you’ll find on Amazon. They really should stop selling it. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
