The Satyricon: The Morazla Scrolls [Paperback]

Petronius (Author), Ellery David Nest (Translator)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 12, 2004

An entertaining romp through the salacious world of Roman society. Dr. Nest's spirited translation of the scrolls, abundant with ironic wit, charm, lampoonery and eroticism, serves well to bring this first modern novel to life.

Editorial Reviews

Review

A fun, offensive romp. Jammin' good time. Get over it. -- Jules Arthur Belden. Stanton Literary Group Forum

Shame! This abomination should have remained buried in the dump where it was found. Ten thumbs down! -- Betricia Arnold. American Family Committee Magazine. Vol. 4, Issue 2.

The provenance is questionable. We can only conclude The Morazla Scrolls, though somewhat amusing, is nevertheless an imaginative, modern invention. -- Detterson Witt. The Roundheads of Ancient Rome Newsletter
