Rebilius Cruso

Many modern novels have been translated into Latin over the years. Presented here for your enjoyment is "Robinson Crusoe".


This book was composed when the writer was a Professor of Latin, as part of a larger plan. He had long been convinced that the way of teaching Latin had become less and less effective as it had been made more and more scientific.


Talking in Latin would be the ideal way to learn but as we cannot get exercise in speaking it for practical needs, reading a novel becomes the best way of truly mastering the language.
