Satires and EpistlesExuberantly mocking the vices and pretensions of his Roman contemporaries, Horace's Satires are stuffed full of comic vignettes, moral insights, and his pervasive humanity. Boasting famous episodes such as the fable of the town mouse and the country mouse and the grotesque dinner party given by the nouveau riche Nasidienus, these poems influenced not only contemporaries such as Juvenal, but also English satirists from Ben Jonson to W. H. Auden. In the
Exuberantly mocking the vices and pretensions of his Roman contemporaries, Horace's Satires are stuffed full of comic vignettes, moral insights, and his pervasive humanity. Boasting famous episodes such as the fable of the town mouse and the country mouse and the grotesque dinner party given by the nouveau-riche Nasidienus, these poems influenced not only contemporaries such as Juvenal, but also English satirists from Ben Jonson to W. H. Auden. In the Epistles, Horace used the form of letters to explore questions of philosophy and how to live a good life. Perhaps the best-known epistle, "The Art of Poetry" (Ars poetica), still influences the work of writers today. These new prose translations by John Davie perfectly capture the lively, scurrilous, and frequently hilarious style of the satires, and the warm and engaging persona of the more meditative epistles. Robert Cowan's introduction and notes take account of the latest scholarship, placing Horace's poems within the development of Roman satire, and exploring the themes of philosophy, morality, sex and gender, literary criticism, politics, and patronage. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.Binding Type: Paperback

Disappointing Quality
I got these floating shelves with LED lights for my wife, and at first, they seemed like a great purchase. She was really excited about them, and they were surprisingly easy to install.
Unfortunately, after just two days, the LED lights completely stopped working. It’s really disappointing because the shelves looked great initially, and the added lighting was a nice touch. For the price, I expected much better quality and durability.
It’s frustrating when something you’re excited about doesn’t live up to its promise. While the shelves themselves are still usable, the main feature—LED lighting—is what made them special, and that feature failed. I wouldn’t recommend these based on our experience.

LED floating shelves
I love that these have lights. I don't know how they could be designed to hide a cord so are as expected. I wouldn't want them with replaceable batteries either.

Good product!
10/10 would recommend! Super cool and unique. Had a lot more features than expected and good for the price. Super easy to install if you have a hand drill. Very sturdy and not super heavy. Would buy again!
