«El Satiricón» is the satirical novel by Cayo Petronio, published in hardback with 218 pages in Spanish.
The work narrates in the first person the adventures of Encolpio and his friends through Nero's Rome: banquets, love entanglements and misfortunes that portray the corruption and licentiousness of the era. Preserved in fragmentary form, the text mixes prose and verse and retains dialogues in colloquial Latin, with a mocking look at Roman society.
The edition belongs to the collection Los Clásicos de Grecia y Roma and was published in 1995; the original text is dated to the 1st century AD.
For those who enjoy classical literature and satire, and want to glimpse everyday life in 1st-century Rome.
