Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Sparking modern translation of one of the cornerstone of ancient literature
Documenting the colourful escapades of the former gladiator Encolpius and his less than faithful lover Giton, the Satyricon plunges the reader into the lives of ordinary Roman citizens, vividly revealing the Empire's seamy underbelly. A host of unforgettable characters are satirically presented, such as the pretentious parvenu host Trimalchio in the memorable banquet scene, the lascivious priestess Quartilla and the narrator's unreliable, roguish friend Ascyltus.
Sometimes referred to as the first novel - although surviving only in fragments - this bawdy, picaresque and surprisingly modern narrative is considered one of the founding texts of Western literature.
Contents: Introduction; Satyricon; Poems; From the Fragments; Appendix 1: Before our Text Begins; Appendix 2: The Main Characters in the Satyricon; Appendix 3: Tacitus on Petronius; Appendix 4: Some Later Mentions of Petronius's work; Appendix 5: Two Earlier English Versions of the Satyricon; Appendix 6: Fellini-Satyricon; Notes

A gloriously bawdy tale of love, lust and new money.
