"Satyricon or Satyrica is a Latin novel believed to have been written by Gaius Petronius though the manuscript text of the Satyricon calls him Titus Petronius. The surviving text a mixture of prose and poetry details the misadventures of the narrator Encolpius and his lover a handsome sixteen year old boy named Giton. Throughout the novel Encolpius has a hard time keeping his lover faithful to him as he is constantly being enticed away by others. Encolpius' friend Ascyltus who seems to have previously been in a relationship with Encolpius is another major character but he disappears from the narrative half way through the surviving text. It is a rare example of a Roman novel the only other surviving example quite different in style and plot being Metamorphoses written by Lucius Apuleius. It is also extremely important evidence for the reconstruction of what everyday life must have been like for the lower classes during the early Roman Empire. Covici Friede Publishers hardcover books

These two are also on a folded sheet that is about 2 cm shorter as well as about the same shy of the width of facing pages elsewhere. Alastair 1887-1969 was a German-born self-taught artist whose style was obviously greatly influenced by Beardsley and he emulated Beardsley too in illustrating works of Oscar Wilde who was the perfect template for Alastair's imagination which gloried in decadence as Wilde did decades earlier. This work "The Sphinx" was Alastair's first published work based on Wilde's writing and it is the work that exposed a far larger audience to his distinctive highly stylized artwork. The cloth cover designed by Charles Ricketts has a light film of dusty soiling which is removable with effort and a scattering of other small light stains which are not susceptible to the simple eraser. The interior is generally quite clean and lovely. The hinge is cracked in one place. John Lane, The Bodley Head. Printed by Spottiswoods, Ballantyne and Co.
