The Satyricon of Petronius Arbiter Exploring Roman society through satire and humor【電子書籍】[ Petronius Arbiter ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Satyricon of Petronius Arbiter is a seminal work of Roman literature, celebrated for its innovative narrative style and vivid portrayal of low-life society during the Neronian era. Blending prose and verse, Petronius employs a fragmented structure, interweaving episodes filled with ribaldry, satire, and philosophical musings. This unconventional text serves as both a social commentary and a reflection of the decadence of the time, capturing the coexistence of myth and reality, luxury and poverty, through characters such as the dubious Encolpius and the shrewd Giton. Its raw depictions of sexual escapades and moral ambiguity challenge the reader's perceptions of virtue and vice in ancient Rome. Petronius, a courtier of Emperor Nero, was acutely aware of the stark contrasts present in Roman society and its values. His position within the imperial court, along with his affinity for aesthetics and satire, deeply influenced the narrative's focus on hedonism and the folly of ambition. His ironic detachment reflects a sophisticated understanding of the farcical elements of life, likely serving as a response to the sociopolitical landscape of his time, which eventually led to his own tragic downfall. The Satyricon is highly recommended for readers who seek both entertainment and insight into the complexities of human nature and societal norms. Its rich tapestry of characters and themes offers an engaging exploration of ancient Rome that resonates with contemporary issues, making it a vital text for scholars and casual readers alike.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 150円
