Описание: Petronius "Satyricon," probably written between 54 and 68 CE, presents in lurid detail the disreputable adventures of Encolpius, including his attendance at Trimalchio s wildly extravagant dinner party. The "Apocolocyntosis" ("Pumpkinification"), a satire on the death and apotheosis of the emperor Claudius, is attributed to Seneca (c. 4 BCE 54 CE).
Virtually all theories of satire define it as a criticism of contemporary society. Some argue that satire criticizes the present in favor of a standard of values that has been superseded, and thus that satire is generally backward-looking and conservative. While this is often true of poetic satire, in this study Frank Palmeri asserts that narrative satire performs a different function, that it parodies both the established view of the world and that of its opponents, offering its own distinctive critical perspective.
This theory of satire builds on the idea of dialogical parody in the work of Russian theorist Mikhail Bakhtin, while revising Bakhtin's estimate of carnival. In Palmeri's view, the carnivalesque offers only an inverted mirror image of authoritative discourse, while parodic narrative satire suggests an alternative to both the official world and its inverted opposite.
Palmeri applies this theory of narrative satire to five works of world literature, each of which has generated sharp controversy about the genre to which it rightly belongs: Petronius' Satyricon, Jonathan Swift's A Tale of a Tub, Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Herman Melville's The Confidence-Man, and Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49. He analyzes the features that link these works and shows how the changing pairs of alternatives that are parodied in these satires reflect changes in the terms of social and cultural oppositions.
Satire in Narrative will appeal to comparatists, specialists in eighteenth-century and American literature, and others interested in theories of genre and the relations between literary forms and social history.

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: Parallel English - Latin text.This bilingual edition features the original Latin text parallel with an excellent English translation by Alfred R. Allinson who not only translated the text but also filled in missing parts of the fragmented original thus enabling the reader to understand what the original novel must have been like.The surviving portions of the Latin text detail the misadventures of the narrator, Encolpius, and his lover, a handsome sixteen-year-old boy named Giton. Throughout the novel, Encolpius has a hard time keeping his lover faithful to him as he is constantly being enticed away by others. Encolpius's friend Ascyltus (who seems to have previously been in a relationship with Encolpius) is another major character. It is extremely important evidence for the reconstruction of what everyday life must have been like for the lower classes during the early Roman Empire.A Pukka Classic from www.arepo.biz

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.
