This book is a classic of comedy, a superbly funny picture of Nero's Rome as seen through the eyes of Petronius, its most amorous and elegant courtier. This book recaptures all the ribald humor of Petronius' picaresque satire. The hilarious story of the pleasure-seeking, fortune-hunting adventure of an educated rogue turns every weakness of the flesh, every foible of the mind, to laughter. A clean very presentable copy.
