Chattering Courtesans and Other Sardonic Sketches

By (author) Lucian, Edited by Keith Sidwell

| on special |

normal price: R 375.95

Price: R 337.95

| book description |

Described by a later Greek historian as a man seriously committed to raising a laugh , Lucian exulted in the exposure of absurdity and the puncturing of pretension, and was capable of finding a comic angle on almost any subject. In this selection we see him conversing with his literary enemies, railing against hypocrisy and the vanity of human wealth and power, and taking a wry look at the power of lust and the unsatisfactory nature of deviant sexual practices.
