«El sueño de Luciano» is a classic fiction work by Lucian of Samosata, published by Clasicas Del Orto in paperback (59 pages, in Spanish).
«El sueño de Luciano» presents the Dialogues of the Dead in the version by Vicente Castro Rodríguez. In conversations set in the underworld, Lucian of Samosata combines satire and humour with philosophical reflection. Menippus appears as a central character; Lucian of Samosata's irony targets appearances, fate and the vanity of the powerful.
Translation by Vicente Castro Rodríguez from the original Greek Νεκρικοὶ Διάλογοι, written in the 2nd century AD.
Recommended for readers of classical literature and philosophy who appreciate satire and humour with a critical undertone.
Lucian of Samosata was a Hellenized Syrian satirist, rhetorician and pamphleteer who is best known for his characteristic tongue-in-cheek style, with which he frequently ridiculed philosophers and priests, speculative beliefs about the nature of the universe, religious practices, and superstitions. Although his native language was probably Syriac, all of his extant works are written entirely in ancient Greek.
