Petronius

The Satyricon

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Satyricon is the most celebrated work of fiction to have survived from the ancient world. The father of the picaresque genre, it recounts the sleazy progress of a pair of literate scholars as they wander through the cities of the southern Mediterranean encountering en route type-figures the author wickedly satirizes. This lively translation captures the gaiety of the original, and is supplemented by extensive notes.
