The Fowler of the translation is the Fowler of [The King's English]. Lucian's works are primarily satires, including one of the first voyages to the moon, parodies of the Greek romance novels popular at the time, and many , many digs at professional philosophers, whom he regards as parasites and fakes. The tone is not modern, but it is comfortable and familiar, rather urbane. Lucian travelled around the Roman Empire, teaching, and giving readings ( of the satires in these volumes, among other things ). An interesting life at a fortunate period of the Roman Empire - it could be the basis for an fun novel. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Listes notables
Collected here are all of Lucian's major works. This includes his satires, dialogues, apologias, essays, and proto-novels. Lucian's sharp wit and searing criticisms are heightened by his exacting and eloquent style. He could move effortlessly from the bawdy to the supremely sophisticated, touching on all strata of the ancient intellect. His extensive traveling across Europe further influenced and developed his writing. Lucian's eccentric prose pieces tell of interplanetary war, alien encounters, and space travel. Consequently Lucian is considered the first science fiction novelist. Yet Lucian remains most lauded for his pointed satires, mocking authoritative tyrants and intellectual trends. In "The Works of Lucian of Samosata" we see Lucian in all of his talents and colors, offering insight into the classical mind. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
