• W2021173706 abstract "treatments of Buck's life—Conn's is replete with details of politics, history and culture, which is a particularly apt approach regarding an author with Pearl Buck's degree of public influence. This book belongs on the shelves of anyone interested in the origins of the multicultural movement in America. 0B) The Odes ofHorace Translated by David Ferry Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1997, 344 pp., $35 David Ferry humbly refers to his translations in the preface to The Odes ofHorace as an act of interpretation which he hopes is reasonably close to the Latin originals. This circumspection, rather than serving as an excuse to deliver Horace loosely into English, indicates a scrupulous concern for fidelity to the original, however impossible that goal may be. Ferry's modesty not-withstanding, his ability as a translator is wellestablished . His translation of the Gilgamesh legend, which he similarly qualified as a version of an unrecoverable original, was nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award in 1993. His completion of the Odes is no less of an achievement. Those who have enjoyed his single translations of Horace in literary magazines these past few years wiU rightfuUy have high expectations, and this handsome bilingual volume doesn't disappoint. In addition to the four books of odes and the infrequently translated Carmen Saeculare, a ceremonial song commissioned by Augustus in 17 B.C., Ferry has helpfully framed the poems with a biographical sketch of the poet, critical introduction, textual notes, and a glossary of Roman mythological and geographical terms, both of which are abundant in Horace's work. The poems themselves are distinctively clear and fresh. Occasional moralizing and aphorisms are overshadowed by the'wonderfully matterof -fact nature of most of the verse. 'Torquatus, don't pin your hopes on living forever, advises the poet in one of his odes. In another, he issues this delightful caU to pleasure: What could be better to do on Neptune's day?/Lyde, go fetch the Caecuban wine, and hurry/Let's strike a blow for folly. The sun is setting,/And yet you tarry, as if the hour stands still— Ferry has avoided complex sapphic and choriambic meters in favor of a more natural, generaUy iambic rhythm, and his versions do not exhibit the torqued syntax of the originals. But these poems are so solidly authoritative in tone that even more controversial departures are made acceptable by the sheer grace of his alternatives. Ferry's strength as a translator derives from his ability to present a dynamic Horace who moves swiftly from voice to varied voice.
