How to Get Over a Breakup: An Anchient Guide to Moving On

Through the history of humanity philosophers, readers and writers have found themselves experiencing very similar reactions to the heartbreak that we face in our lives today. In ancient Rome poet Ovid penned Remedia Amoris (Remedies for Love) offering the reader thirty-eight strategies for managing all the woes of love lost. Author, translator, and professor of classics at Cornell University Michael Fontaine has used that original classic as his starting point and brings us How to Get Over a Breakup: An Ancient Guide to Moving On. Fontaine combines his understanding of the language with his understanding of the meanings and contexts of the writings to bring the reader a delightfully modern take on the original text.
