This new complete translation of the collected poems of Catullus is distinguished by special care for the original. The translator translates the text as accurately as possible (both texts are published in parallel) and reproduces the figurative structure of the works of one of the most famous Roman poets. Perhaps this is the best translation of Catullus into Russian that exists today. The information in numerous appendices will help the reader who is getting acquainted with the work of Catullus for the first time, and the linguistic research of the translator will be of interest to specialists.
