La saacute;tira es seguacute;n Quintiliano una creacioacute;n enteramente romana; y Juvenal; con Horacio; su mejor exponente.Deacute;cimo Junio Juvenal; a pesar de ser uno de los mayores poetas satiacute;ricos romanos; es un desconocido para nosotros: apenas sabemos de seguro que nacioacute; en Aquino (Lacio) en eacute;poca de Neroacute;n (54-68 d.C.) y que murioacute; durante el imperio de Adriano (117-138); probablemente participoacute; en el ejeacute;rcito y en la vida poliacute;tica; residioacute; en Roma en tiempo del emperador Domiciano y tal vez sufriera exilio. Sus Saacute;tiras; dieciseacute;is repartidas en cinco libros; son el modelo universal del geacute;nero; que Juvenal deseoacute; situar a la altura de las poesiacute;as eacute;pica y traacute;gica y de la oratoria. Se refieren a la vida en la Roma contemporaacute;nea al autor; y tratan con una acidez despiadada y vitrioacute;lica a una variopinta galeriacute;a de personajes: son viacute;ctimas de sus pullas los moralistas hipoacute;critas; el estilo de vida en la urbe ndash;en la saacute;tira 3; que muchos consideran la mejorndash;; el gobierno de Domiciano; las mujeres ndash;en la misoacute;gina saacute;tira 6ndash;; los literatos y los maestros; los que creen en la nobleza del linaje y los que sucumben a los vicios sexuales... Pocos son; en suma; los que se salvan de la quema. De Juvenal se ha apreciado; ameacute;n de la singular fuerza expresiva; la sinceridad de su coacute;lera y un inagotable ingenio que ha legado al acervo literario expresiones tan universales como panem et circenses; rara avis in terris y mens sana in corpore sano.Este volumen completa la imagen de la saacute;tira romana con Persio (34-62 d.C.); quien en su breve vida compuso seis saacute;tiras a la manera de Lucilio y Horacio; que; lejos de la coacute;lera de Juvenal; transmiten una rigurosa moralidad estoica.

Its a preview of images that could be in the actual coloring book. You receive a digital kindle version that contains 13 pages of into/ads/index and then 14 pages of images. There is the option to download the images which you can then print out and color. It took me some time to figure out how to download though.The images are more intricate than some others Ive seen and fill a large part of the page. which I like. They are all in the shape of a square so they dont fill up an entire 8.5" x 11" page. The designs are fun and mostly floral themed. Its definitely for adults. I wouldnt recommend this one for children. Overall. its an okay "preview" of a "coloring book". Id still probably recommend just finding some free coloring pages online that you can print out. Seems like an easier and cheaper option to be honest.The "Look Inside" preview before you buy feature is useless. It does not show any actual images from the book. I fail to understand the point of even including that feature with this items information since it provides no insight into the actual "coloring book". It will not show you what you are buying.I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion. BUT it is MY opinion and I havent been paid by the seller to leave a particular review. I rely on product reviews when shopping on and appreciate when there are honest opinions to help make my decision. I try to give back to the community by providing a useful review myself.The opinions represented are always my own. Irsquo;m a real live person currently sitting on my couch typing this out. I do not leave a good review if I dont feel the product deserves it. A five star review was not promised or guaranteed prior to purchasing.What the stars in my review mean:5 stars - I absolutely adore the product and would buy it over and over again!4 stars - Product is good. has some minor issues. but I might buy it again if need be.3 stars - Product has issues but still works. Would not purchase it again.2 stars - Product has major problems and does not work as promised.1 star - I would not buy this product and/or recommend it to friends and family2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. No download link for this bookBy Florida KayakerThis adult coloring book begins with a short discussion on why coloring is good for you. It then has 14 floral designs. These are designs that you cant print however because this isnt really a Kindle coloring book. It is an ad to encourage you to purchase the paper coloring book.There is a download link and it does take you to a download page for six other books. On this page you can also choose to purchase the paper copy of this book.I am not sure if I should give this book 1 star because it is really an advertisement to purchase the paper version or if I should give it 5 stars because it gives you access to download the pages from 6 other books. I am settling for three stars.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. this book is great. All the pictures are intricate and well designedBy Duy N.Coloring seems to be all the new rage these days especially for those who espouse mindfulness and relaxation. As a therapist I actually found what they say about coloring to be true. Being about to sit there for 30-45 minutes and just focus on coloring one of these images goes a long way in giving you piece of mind. If you dont believe me just carve out 30 minutes one day and try coloring one of these images. Anyways. this book is great. All the pictures are intricate and well designed. This is definitely a coloring book for an adult or an older teen. I really like that they include a PDF version so you can print it out and give it to other people. This makes it super easy for me to hand out to my older clients. I love all the whimsical pictures in this book. It makes coloring them so much fun and relaxing.
