On one scale devised by psychiatrists, only a spouse's death was ranked as more stressful than a marital split. Is there any treatment for a breakup? The ancient Roman poet Ovid thought so. Having become famous for teaching the art of seduction in \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Love\u003c\/i\u003e, he then wrote \u003ci\u003eRemedies for Love\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eRemedia Amoris\u003c\/i\u003e), which presents thirty-eight frank and witty strategies for coping with unrequited love, falling out of love, ending a relationship, and healing a broken heart. \u003ci\u003eHow to Get Over a Breakup\u003c\/i\u003e presents an unabashedly modern prose translation of Ovid's lighthearted and provocative work, complete with a lively introduction and the original Latin on facing pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOvid's advice  which he illustrates with ingenious interpretations of classical mythology  ranges from the practical, psychologically astute, and profound to the ironic, deliberately offensive, and bizarre. Some advice is conventional  such as staying busy, not spending time alone, and avoiding places associated with an ex. Some is off-color, such as having sex until you're sick of it. And some is simply and delightfully weird  such as becoming a lawyer and not eating arugula.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether his advice is good or bad, entertaining or outrageous, \u003ci\u003eHow to Get Over a Breakup\u003c\/i\u003e reveals an Ovid who sounds startlingly modern.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46803809140894,"sku":"ADS-9780691220307","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780691220307.jpg?v=1778206190","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780691220307","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
