Nolens Volens. Whether you want to or not.

What were Augustus' last words? Which Roman emperor does rapper Jay-Z quote? This entertaining compilation of ancient maxims shows us that Latin is present everywhere: in our wallets, in our cities, in our laws, in our daily conversations, and in our way of understanding life. And it transports us to an extraordinary era in which wise men allowed themselves to be killed for science, or for living according to their own convictions, and in which a few figs could justify a war. Summa Summarum, in this book we will discover how Latin has always been a far-reaching influencer and we will enjoy a true work of art, indispensable in any home library. The book has received several awards and recognitions, including the Green Island International Illustration Award at the Nami Concours 2021, and the illustrator was a finalist in the Bologna Exhibition 2022.
