β¦ Synopsis
The marvelously entertaining parody of imperial Rome
One of the most outrageous and strikingly modern works to have survived from the ancient world,Β The SatyriconΒ offers an unmatched satirical portrait of the age of Nero, in all its excesses and chaos. 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.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700Β titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust theΒ series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-dateΒ translations by award-winning translators.
