The Satyricon/The Apocolocyntosis (Penguin Classics)

The most celebrated prose work to have survived from the ancient world, THE SATYRICON recounts the sleazy progress of a pair of literate scholars as they wander through the cities of the southern Mediterranean in the age of Nero, encountering type-figures whom the author wishes to satirize. P.G. Walsh captures the spirit of the original in this new and lively translation.
