Cambridge Latin Course Unit 1 Student's Text North American Edition (2009) (Hardcover, 4th ed.)

The Cambridge Latin Course is a well-established and highly successful program for learning Latin, structured in four Units. This proven approach includes a stimulating, continuous storyline, grammatical development and cultural information carefully woven throughout the text, a complete Language Information section, and color photographs that illustrate the Roman world. In Unit 1, the storyline follows the adventures of the well-known Pompeian banker Lucius Caecilius Iucundus and his family until the eruption of Vesuvius on that fateful day of August 24, A.D. 79. While the story of the main character, Caecilius' son, Quintus, is fictional, many real-life stories of Pompeian citizens have been included to add authenticity to this engaging text. The Student's Book includes: a wide range of color photographs, many specially commissioned; high-interest sections on background and culture, taking account of recent research; clear presentation of grammatical features; and special sections featuring work on derivatives.
