书籍简介

《萨蒂里卡》（Satyricon liber）是一部以散文和诗歌形式写成的滑稽小说，传统上归属于尼罗尼乌斯（公元66年），但可能是弗拉维时期或特拉扬时期的作品，现仅作为一个更大的整体的片段而存在。它采用一人称叙述的形式，作者是可爱的新手恩科皮乌斯，他是一个出色的说书人、戏仿者和模仿者，他回忆了自己过去作为一个流浪的波希米亚人的生活片段，在希腊南部意大利的社会边缘靠自己的智慧生活，遇到了一系列生动的早期帝国社会的人物，包括富裕的自由人特里马尔基奥，这是整个拉丁文学中令人难忘的人物之一。

与《萨蒂里卡》搭配的是《南瓜化》（Pumpkinification），同样也是散文和诗歌，这是一本讽刺性的短篇小册子，嘲笑克劳狄斯皇帝（41-54年在位）的死亡、神化和进入天堂的企图。如果说卢修斯·安娜乌斯·塞内卡（Lucius Annaeus Seneca，公元前4年-公元65年）的作品因其严谨的斯多葛式道德主义而闻名，那么其讽刺的机智和滚滚的幽默无疑是受到他在41-49年被克劳狄斯流放的痛苦的启发。

在这个Loeb版本中，拉丁文本经过了全新的编辑和翻译，并有大量的介绍和解释性说明。

The Satyrica (Satyricon liber), a comic-picaresque fiction in prose and verse traditionally attributed to the Neronian Petronius (d. AD 66) but possibly of Flavian or Trajanic date, survives only as fragments of a much larger whole. It takes the form of a first-person narrative by the endearing ne'er-do-well Encolpius, a brilliant storyteller, parodist, and mimic who recalls episodes from his past life as a wandering bohemian, living by his wits on the margins of society in Greek southern Italy and encountering a vividly realized array of characters from the early imperial demimonde, including the wealthy freedman Trimalchio, one of the most unforgettable characters in all of Latin literature.

Paired with the Satyrica, and likewise in prose and verse, is the Apocolocyntosis (Pumpkinification), a short satirical pamphlet lampooning the death, apotheosis, and attempt to enter heaven of the emperor Claudius (reigned 41-54). If the work of Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC-AD 65), better known for his austere Stoic moralism, its sarcastic wit and rollicking humor were no doubt inspired by bitterness over his exile at Claudius' hands in 41-49.

For this Loeb edition the Latin texts have been freshly edited and translated, with ample introductions and explanatory notes.
