BLACK PROTECTIVE COVER WITH PRINT FRONT AND SPINE, BOOK ITSELF OS BLACK WITH GOLD PRINT SPINE AND FRONT. BOOK IS GOOD CONDITION WITH SLIGHT WEAR, INSIDE IS CLEAN WITH NO MARKINGS, TIGHT AND VERY GOOD CONDITION. TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH BY OSCAR WILDE. Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 ¿ 30 November 1900) was an Irish poet and playwright. The Satyricon, or Satyricon liber (The Book of Satyrlike Adventures), is a Latin work of fiction believed to have been written by Gaius Petronius, though the manuscript tradition identifies the author as Titus Petronius. The Satyricon is an example of Menippean satire, which is different from the formal verse satire of Juvenal or Horace. The work contains a mixture of prose and verse (commonly known as prosimetrum); serious and comic elements; and erotic and decadent passages. As with the Metamorphoses (also called The Golden Ass) of Apuleius, classical scholars often describe it as a "Roman novel", without necessarily implying continuity with the modern literary form.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 8vo. 269p. DJ. The vivid, elegant, and mildly erotic Satyricon is usually attributed to Nero's friend, Gaius Petronius Arbiter. The surviving portions of the 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 one of the two most extensive examples of the Roman novel, the only other being fully extant Metamorphoses of Apuleius, which is quite different in style and plot. It is also extremely important evidence for the reconstruction of what everyday life must have been like for the lower classes during the early Roman Empire. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W121 Language: eng.
