Roman philosophy, satirical poetry, the golden age of Augustus, and state philosophical designs are central reading topics for upper secondary education. The Latin Reader 1 offers a representative selection of texts from the philosophical writings of Cicero and Seneca, as well as from the satirical works of Petronius and Horace. In the Latin Reader 2, alongside relevant texts from the Augustan era, key passages from Cicero's work De re publica can be found. The original texts are accompanied by user-friendly commentary, targeted comprehension questions, a variety of task types, concise accompanying and informational texts, well-thought-out visual materials, and a clear foundational knowledge section. Competence pages gradually introduce students to upper secondary techniques such as interpretation, translation analysis, and translation methods.
