Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of dialogues and satirical essays by Lucian of Samosata, an author from the second century CE. A fascinating snapshot of the popular culture of the time, Lucianâs tales are often bawdy and sharply critical of contemporary philosophy, literature, and religious practices. He mocks the belief in oracles, fortune tellers, and pagan deities, and satirizes philosophers of the Stoic and Epicurean schools. Despite the time that has passed, many of the topics he addresses are as relevant today as they were 2000 years ago. His pithy wit and sharp intellect make his work a treat for readers interested in history, satire, religion, and philosophy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

First edition in English of the Dialogues and Lucian's True History. Collation: A-2C4 2D1. [16], 55, [1], 59-196 pp. Pagination irregular: I4v is numbered 48. 1 vols. 4to. First English edition of the fantastical and irrevent Dialogues and True History of Lucian of Samosata (CE 125-180), a Syrian Arab writing in Greek whose works are profoundly influential across European literatures and are also seen as foundation texts of early science fiction. Lucian was an advocate in Antioch and travelled through the eastern Mediterranean lands, studied philosophiy in Athens, and later held an administrative position in Egypt. His Dialogues include "Icaromenippus, or the Loftie Traveller", describing a trip to the Moon, "whence he is able to get a literal (i.e., visual) perspective on the nature of mankind's follies, and second to Olympus, where he meets Jupiter and watches that god deal with men's prayers (which arrive fartlike through huge vents)" (John Clute, in the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, SFE). "Lucian His True Historie" is another fantastic voyage to the Moon and back to exotic islands on Earth, enjoyable and often scatalogoical, with three-headed vultures, space war, cannibal sea-women, and more. "Lucian's fertile imagination piles marvel upon lunatic marvel, and simultaneously mocks them" (SFE). The influence of Lucian can be detected in the writings of Thomas More, Erasmus, Rabelais and Cervantes. Lucian was curiously overlooked by the Elizabethans: Lathrop notes "Plutarch, Lucian, and Isocrates were not quite forgotten in this period, though they did not hold the central place which they held in the school of Erasmus". This edition is the first in English, edited by the translator's son; it was reprinted again in the 1660s. Swift made up for lost time and established a legacy of Lucian in English literature, whch continues on to the dialogue-based satires of Thomas Love Peacock and others.
