English summary: Is this yet another book defending and explaining the Latin language? Yes, but this one boasts that it is different, because it is the product of experience in the field-secondary school-where the ultimate fate of this bimillenary course of study is at stake today. Enriched with multiple anecdotes, and written in a satirical, uncompromising, well-researched and personal style, this book invites us to take up arms and defend Latin to the hilt, to fight against the deep-rooted prejudices assailing this subject, and prove that Latin is not a rearguard elitists’ battle, but a major challenge ahead for the intellectual development of all future citizens. Robert Delord teaches Classical Literature in the Drome region, and chairs the association “Arrete Ton Char!” which promotes antiquity’s languages and cultures among students and the general public. This amateur photographer of statues and ancient sites, fan of improvised music, saxophonist, scratcher, and beatboxer, has, above all, an insatiable curiosity that he strives to inculcate in all of his students. French description: Mordicus : mordre le latin a belles dents, le latin qui se joue en classe pour offrir aux adolescents des armes intellectuelles.Mordicus : montrer les dents, en se battant, patiemment et ardemment, contre les prejuges, contre les ideologies, contre les contraintes budgetaires, contre l’uniformisation de l’education et de la culture, contre tant des forces qui egarent notre epoque, pour que chacun comprenne que le latin tranchera au vif la formation du monde de demain. Dans ces pages passionnees, touchantes, droles, vous verrez le latin comme vous ne l’avez peut-etre jamais vu et, que vous l’ayez ou non etudie, vous aurez surement envie d’en (re)faire demain. Pour demain.
