Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an ancient satirical examination of human nature and societal shortcomings as seen through the lens of an unnamed author interacting with a wide cast of characters in first-century Rome. The work critiques social climbers, the wealthy who claim to value philosophy but live depraved lives, and those who are overly concerned with appearances. It also mocks those who seek out glory and fame without regard to the consequences, and those who are overly concerned with material possessions. The author does this with a sharp wit and a keen eye for detail, providing a unique glimpse into the human condition that is still relevant today. 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.…
