Chattering Courtesans and Other Sardonic Sketches

af Lucian
Bag om Chattering Courtesans and Other Sardonic Sketches

Lucian exulted in the exposure of absurdity, and was capable of finding a comic angle on almost any subject. This book shows 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.
