Familia Mala: Saturnus et Iuppiter (Latin Edition)

This word "momnes" is not in the footnotes or glossary. I can't find a useful translation of it on line

I started studying Latin (just on my own) around Mother’s Day as a result of the pandemic. And I am so appreciative of these novellas!!! (This is my second one by this author). I am amazed by how great the stories are with just a limited vocabulary! Can’t wait to get into the next one!!!

The book is so well-done. It's suitable for students in their first year of Latin, and it's a nice confidence-building read for them during independent reading time. There's a glossary in the back, so it's no big deal if there are a few words you haven't taught. The story is interesting and the pictures are GREAT. I teach 7th grade, and it's the most popular book on my reading shelf.

My daughter loves it.

My students are enjoying this book, and translating the story for themselves.

Very well done!

My first- and second-year students LOVE this novella!

I appreciated this little Latin reader for kids. I have studied grammar and vocabulary, but this book is the kind of rewarding story that gives practice and drills in some of the common phrases, terms, and elementary constructions. Many children learn English reading by going over a book again and again until it is practically memorized. This is that type of book in Latin. The stories of the Gods, Titans, and Beginnings according to Greek mythology are retold in simple Latin by various speakers and the absurdity of the stories related with comic effect. There is a whole series from the author, and I look forward to reading more (once I have memorized this one!).

Llegó en el tiempo indicado, en perfecto estado, junto con "Ego, Polyphemus" del mismo autor.Ambos son agradables, aunque este más, ya que tiene (creo yo) un poquito más de comicidad la historia.Por otro lado, en comparación con el de Polyphemus, este es un tanto más avanzadillo, y aunque es breve (o quizá porque es breve y permite repasarlo más veces) permite ir afianzando vocabulario ya sencillo, así como adquirir palabras adicionales en latín.[Edit] El texto tiene estos errores:Pág. 20 - "momnes" en lugar de "omnes" (todos)Pág. 26 - "vulerna" en lugar de "vulnera" (hiere, daña -imperativo del verbo vulnerare) ; "vulerato" en lugar de "vulnerato" (herido -"en estando herido").Esto lo juzgo importante ya que es un texto bastante orientado a principiantes en latín, y es importante que se tome esta información en consideración.Tomando en cuenta lo anterior, sigue siendo muy útil.Súper recomendable.

I found it useful for practice.

Avevo bisogno di recuperare urgentemente questo testo per il liceo di mia figlia e tutte le premesse dell'acquisto sono state mantenute

Un très bon livre, mes élèves se sont jetés dessus. Les phrases sont simples et les dessins aident à comprendre. Je pense que cela habitue progressivement les plus jeunes à ne pas paniquer face à des pages entières en latin, et à voir qu'ils peuvent comprendre le sens global, même si tous les mots ne leur sont pas limpides. Par contre le passage de la castration est un peu édulcoré ;)

bei libri per coloro i quali vogliano apprendere il latino.
