Bag om Lucian's Wonderland (1899)

Lucian's Wonderland is a classic work of literature written by the ancient Greek satirist Lucian in the second century AD. This book is a collection of satirical essays that explore various themes such as philosophy, religion, politics, and society. The book is divided into three parts. The first part consists of a series of dialogues between Lucian and various philosophers, including Socrates, Diogenes, and Epicurus. These dialogues satirize the philosophical traditions of ancient Greece and poke fun at the pretensions of philosophers.The second part of the book is a series of satirical stories that parody the myths and legends of ancient Greece. These stories include the tale of Zeus and his many wives, the story of the Trojan War, and the adventures of Odysseus.The third and final part of the book is a series of satirical essays on various topics, including religion, politics, and society. These essays criticize the hypocrisy and corruption of the ruling class, the foolishness of religious beliefs, and the absurdity of social conventions.Overall, Lucian's Wonderland is a witty and irreverent work of satire that offers a unique perspective on the culture and society of ancient Greece. It is a must-read for anyone interested in classical literature and the history of satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
