{"product_id":"the-satyricon-warbler-classics-annotated-edition-9781965684122","title":"The Satyricon (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eSatyricon\u003c\/em\u003e is a wild and witty ancient Roman novel, believed to have been written by Gaius Petronius in the late first century AD. A satirical romp through ancient Rome, the \u003cem\u003eSatyricon\u003c\/em\u003e follows the misadventures of Encolpius, a young man with questionable morals, and his attractive teenage companion Giton. The work's frank depictions of sexuality and social dynamics provide unparalleled insight into the underbelly of Roman society. The \u003cem\u003eSatyricon\u003c\/em\u003e stands out from other Roman texts in its use of a freewheeling mix of styles and tones, its high-brow and low-brow humor, and erotic and decadent scenes. With its episodic structure and roguish protagonists, the \u003cem\u003eSatyricon\u003c\/em\u003e is often considered an early forerunner of the picaresque novel. It laid the groundwork for later classics like \u003cem\u003eDon Quixote \u003c\/em\u003eand influenced countless other works of bawdy literature. This edition is based on W. C. Firebaugh's complete and unexpurgated translation, which includes supplements devised by various early scholars and forgers in an attempt to round out the fragmentary story, including the risqu? supplement by Jos? Marchena, which had previously been omitted or printed only in the original Latin. (Firebaugh carefully distinguishes all these supplements from the authentic, original text.) Along with Firebaugh's introduction and notes, this edition includes a brief timeline of the history of Latin literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Warbler Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781965684122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.42d","brand":"Gaius Petronius","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45331894239413,"sku":"9781965684122","price":10.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_087f08de-4af4-4b5a-8525-88d62077ec2c.jpg?v=1745938434","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-satyricon-warbler-classics-annotated-edition-9781965684122","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
