Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Funny observations by a true Roman wit. Sometimes I laughed out loud. Still relevant today because we still have the same characters running loose! Very enjoyable. ( ) Initially I thought this book was going to be incredibly difficult to read and so put off reading it for as long as possible. However, chattering courtesans was interesting, insightful and at times even funny. Lucian makes fun pre-concieved ideals about women and men in that time. He makes fun of religion and customs, for example mourning those who have died. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Innehåller
Described by a later Greek historian as "a man seriously committed to raising a laugh", Lucian exulted in the exposure of absurdity and the puncturing of pretension, and was capable of finding a comic angle on almost any subject. In this selection we see him conversing with his literary enemies, railing against hypocrisy and the vanity of human wealth and power, and taking a wry look at the power of lust and the unsatisfactory nature of deviant sexual practices.
