In the classical tale "The Satyricon", Petronius Arbiter makes a strong, yet humorous, statement about the social life of ancient Rome. Rather than telling the story of Encolpius and his companions heroically, which was the typical approach of other writings of classical antiquity, Petronius chose to show the true life and vernacular of the Roman lower and middle class through satire and comedy. Narrator Encolpius, a former gladiator, goes on adventures with his best friend and former lover Ascyltos as well as his slave and current lover Giton. Yet Encolpius constantly worries about whether or not Giton's affections are waning. The trio participates in various parties, events, and celebrations, but their attention is less focused on properly worshipping the gods and more fixated on the sexual nature of the wild bacchanals. Written during the reign of Emperor Nero, "The Satyricon", gives the reader a realistic sense of what life was like at the time. While he was known for his tyrannical persecution of Christians, Nero's reign was also filled with over-the-top celebrations in honor of the gods. Petronius was a frequent visitor to Nero's bacchanals, meaning that "The Satyricon" is a fictional first-hand account of the time. The work is not only a precious gem of Western literature because of its wit, but because it gives modern readers a realistic glimpse into history. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Описание: Die Satyrischen Geschichten Petrons (1./2. Jh. n. Chr.) sind nur in Bruchstucken uberliefert, aber der ursprungliche Roman ist noch gut erkennbar. Er handelt von den Gaunereien und erotischen Abenteuern eines jungen Mannes, die dieser selbst schildert. Von seiner Unmoral und der seiner Freunde spricht er mit einer solchen Unbefangenheit, dass man keinen Ansto? daran nimmt, ja sogar gro?en Spa? daran hat. Die zweisprachige Ausgabe enthalt den gesamten Text von Petrons Roman, berucksichtigt die jungsten wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen und reprasentiert somit den aktuellen Forschungsstand. Niklas Holzbergs neue Ubersetzung ist betont wortlich, aber zugleich auf den Sprachgebrauch heutiger Leser abgestimmt.

Описание: A comic masterpiece of classical antiquity, the Satyrica (or Satyricon) of Petronius is a tantalizing work of fiction - part poetry, part prose, hilariously vulgar, exquisitely elegant, its original form and length as much a matter of speculation as the identity of its author.
