Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the first century A.D., Publius Ovidius Naso, the most urbane and irreverent poet of imperial Rome, was banished to a remote village on the edge of the Black Sea. From these sparse facts, Malouf has fashioned an audacious and supremely moving novel. Marooned on the edge of the known world, exiled from his native tongue, Ovid depends on the kindness of barbarians who impale their dead and converse with the spirit world.Then he becomes the guardian of a still more savage creature, a feral child who has grown up among deer. What ensues is a luminous encounter between civilization and nature, as enacted by a poet who once cataloged the treacheries of love and a boy who slowly learns how to give it."A work of unusual intelligence and imagination, full of surprising images and insights.One of those rare books you end up underlining and copying out into notebooks and reading out loud to friends."--The New York Times Book Review Exiled from imperial Rome to a remote village on the edge of the Black Sea, Ovid, the irreverent Roman poet, encounters a feral child, who teaches him the language of nature.
