Forlagsbeskrivelse af The Satyricon af Petronius
Most likely written by an advisor of Nero, this title recounts the adventures of Encolpius and his companions as they travel around Italy. Estimated to date from 63 - 65 AD, and only surviving in fragments, it offers a satirical portrait of the age of Nero, in all its excesses and chaos. The Satyricon is one of the most outrageous and strikingly modern works to have survived from the ancient world. Most likely written by an advisor of Nero, it recounts the adventures of Encolpius and his companions as they travel around Italy, encountering courtesans, priestesses, con men, brothel-keepers, pompous professors and, above all, Trimalchio, the nouveau riche millionaire whose debauched feasting and pretentious vulgarity make him one of the great comic characters in literature. Estimated to date from 63 - 65 AD, and only surviving in fragments, The Satyricon nevertheless offers an unmatched satirical portrait of the age of Nero, in all its excesses and chaos.
