"Perhaps...readers will connect or reconnect to some of the most extraordinary works ever written, works that go to the very heart of the human condition and that help to explain why, for centuries, so many students labored over 'dead' languages, learning grammar, parsing sentences and mining the riches of the past--complaining, no doubt, the whole time."
Michael Poliakoff, Wall Street Journal, 04/08/2006
