«Storia Vera» is Lucian of Samosata's science-fiction satire, published by Newton & Compton in paperback (97 pages, in Italian).
Written in the 2nd century, it is considered the first science-fiction narrative. Lucian parodies the historiography of his time: the narrator travels to the Moon and visits enchanted islands, rivers of wine and sirens, in a satire that dismantles the false inventions of literature, philosophy and science.
Volume 170 of the Tascabili economici Newton collection; complete edition with the Greek text facing.
A read for those who enjoy classical satire and are curious about the antecedents of science fiction.
