Persius Knihy

Bite and wit characterize two seminal and stellar authors in the history of satirical writing, Persius (34 62 CE) and Juvenal (writing about sixty years later). The latter especially had a lasting influence on English writers of the Renaissance and succeeding centuries.

This translation of The satires of Horace and Persius first published 1973; revised edition, with Horace's Epistles, published 1979; reprinted with revisions ... 2005--T.p. verso.
