This is a new release of the original 1923 edition.
The Satyricon has remained popular throughout the ages and lasted
well beyond its first writing. Though it might not be an easy read,
it is a rewarding one.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1922 Edition.
1922. With an essay by Charles Whibley. Satyricon, ascribed by
tradition to that of Petronius who, at the court of Nero, acted as
arbiter of elegance and dictator of fashion. The Satyricon is a
romance with skillfully drawn characters, written in prose
interspersed with verse. Parts of the 15th and 16th books have been
preserved. Among the surviving fragments the most complete and
valuable section is the Cena Trimalchionis, presenting a humorous
episode of vulgar display on the part of a man whose great wealth
is newly acquired. These satires furnish a vivid study of the life
and manners of the time in a sustained, connected example of the
colloquial language. The Latin style of Petronius is among the best
of its period.
