Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a product of extensive scholarship, is a meticulous examination of the life and works of Petronius Arbiter, author of the scandalous yet revered novel, Satyricon. The author traces Petronius' journey from his noble upbringing under Tiberius to his influential role as an advisor to Nero. Despite Petronius' proximity to power, the author argues that his writings, particularly Satyricon, were not merely a reflection of his libertine lifestyle but also a sharp critique of the moral decay and excess that characterized his time. By placing the novel and its author within the broader context of the Roman Empire's decline, this book offers a captivating narrative that illuminates the tumultuous intersection of art, society, and politics in the ancient world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781390548792_0
