‎THE ROMAN NOVEL The Satyricon of Petronius and the Metamorphoses of Apuleius‎

‎Former owner's name to inner cover. DJ has edgewear with chipping and small tears. Small stain to DJ spine. DJ is price-clipped. ; The Satyricon of Petronius and the Metamorphoses (or Golden Ass) of Apuleius are the only novels written at Rome before A. D. 200 to have survived. The genre is the comic romance, the literature of relaxation in the ancient world. In this book the author defines the genre and sets it in the context of other forms of fiction then being written, demonstrating that both Petronius and Apuleius introduced important innovations into the traditional comic romance. He then goes on to provide a critical analysis of the Satyricon, with a separate chapter on Trimalchio’s feast, the central and most richly comic episode of the book. The Golden Ass is similarly studied, again with special analysis of its centrepiece, the story of Cupid and Psyche. The final chapter assesses the later influence of the two novels on the main stream of European picaresque fiction. ; 0.87 x 8.86 x 5.79 Inches; 286 pages‎

‎Warner Rex‎

‎The Wild Goose Chase‎

‎London: John Lane Bodley Head 1947 The Wild Goose Chase published in 1937 and Rex Warner's first novel was a groundbreaking piece of fiction. The novel follows three brothers whose journey is a dazzling original political allegory of liberation through Marxism. While most socialist writing of the 1930s took the form of social realism or reportage Warner broke with this tradition drawing instead on surrealism classical mythology fairy tales film and popular genres of the time including Boys Adventure and science fiction. Its publication immediately secured Rex Warner's reputation as a major writer. In the novel three brothers - Rudolph David and George - embark on a dangerous quest in search of the 'wild goose'. Their search takes them into a neighbouring country and they eventually arrive at a sealed-off town where the ruling dictators have enslaved the people and secured a life of privilege for themselves and a few harmless professors who teach at the town's university. Only George the youngest brother is able to stand up against the dictators and he eventually leads a successful revolution against them. Original vintage copy. Reprint. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good Price Clipped. John Lane, Bodley Head hardcover‎
