Recenzii

[Ruden] has caught, better than any translator known to me, both the conversational patterns of Petronian dialogue and the camera-sharp specificity and color of the Satyricon's descriptive passages. . . . A quite extraordinary achievement against heavy odds. --Peter Green, The Los Angeles Times Book Review
Relying on. . . her excellent knowledge of Latin, her lively feel for contemporary slang and rhythm, and her infectious love of the work, [Ruden] gives us the full Satyricon ; she shows us a man making a comic masterpiece out of Neronian chaos. . . . Her book as a whole, breathing knowledge and affection, is a delight. --Donald Lyons, The New Criterion
This is a really useful volume which can readily be recommended as a set text to students. The ten commentaries at the end are judicious overviews of important topics connected with the work and the suggestions for further reading are up-to-date and intelligent. --Susanna Morton Braund, Yale University

Notă biografică

Titus Petronius Arbiter is reputedly the author of theSatyricon. According to Tacitus, Petronius' chief talent lay in the pursuit of pleasures, in which he displayed such exquisite refinement that he earned the unofficial title of the emperor Nero's 'arbiter of elegance' (arbiter elegantiae). Court rivalry and jealousy contrived to cast on Petronius the suspicion that he was conspiring against the emperor, and he was ordered to commit suicide in A.D. 66. He gradually bled to death, opening his veins, binding and re-opening them, passing his last hours in social amusement and the composition of a catalogue of Nero's debaucheries.

J. P. Sullivan was Professor of Classics at the University of California, Santa Barbara when he died in 1993. He was the author of many works, includingThe Satyricon of Petronius: A Literary Study and LiteratureandPolitics in the Age of Nero.

Helen Morales is Associate Professor of Classics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is co-editor of the journalRamus: Critical Studies in Greek and Latin Literature, author ofVision and Narrative in Achilles Tatius' 'Leucippe and Clitophon'andClassical Mythology: A Very Short Introduction, and editor of the Penguin ClassicsGreek Fiction.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
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.
