Tristia, Book 1 is a collection of poems written by the Roman poet Ovid, and was first published in 1 AD. The book is a lamentation of Ovid's exile from Rome to the remote town of Tomis, in modern-day Romania, by the Roman Emperor Augustus. The poems are written in elegiac couplets, and are a reflection of Ovid's feelings of sadness, loneliness, and despair at his forced separation from his home and loved ones. The book is divided into five sections, each containing a number of poems. The first section is an introduction, in which Ovid explains the circumstances of his exile and his reasons for writing the poems. The subsequent sections contain poems that deal with various themes, such as his longing for his wife and friends, his despair at his exile, and his reflections on the nature of love and loss. The book also contains extensive notes and annotations, which provide historical and cultural context for the poems, as well as explanations of the more obscure references and allusions. Overall, Tristia, Book 1 is a poignant and moving collection of poems that offer a glimpse into the mind of one of the greatest poets of ancient Rome.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
