8vo. 269p. DJ. The vivid, elegant, and mildly erotic Satyricon is usually attributed to Nero's friend, Gaius Petronius Arbiter. The surviving portions of the text detail the misadventures of the narrator, Encolpius, and his lover, a handsome sixteen-year-old boy named Giton. Throughout the novel, Encolpius has a hard time keeping his lover faithful to him as he is constantly being enticed away by others. Encolpius's friend Ascyltus (who seems to have previously been in a relationship with Encolpius) is another major character. It is one of the two most extensive examples of the Roman novel, the only other being fully extant Metamorphoses of Apuleius, which is quite different in style and plot. It is also extremely important evidence for the reconstruction of what everyday life must have been like for the lower classes during the early Roman Empire. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W121

Paperback white octavo with green and blue illustration on front cover. xviii, 464 pages, 17cm. Translated by Alec Brown. || "Originally published in two volumes as Vie du Marquis de Sade" || "The product of many years of careful research, during which the author was allowed access by the Marquis' descendants to a wealth of Correspondence and unpublished manuscripts, Gilbert Lely's biography does much to dispel the mists of legend and to re-create the life of one of the most remarkable men of recorded history. While clearly and meticulously following the facts of Sade's life and the increasing sexual obsessions that defined them, the book also shows how those very obsessions and drives translated themselves into the form of some of the most lucid, compelling, and significant prose ever written." -back cover.
