It can be described as the first realistic novel, the father of the picaresque genre. It recounts the sleazy progress of a pair of literate scholars as they wander through the cities of the southern\u003cbr\u003eMediterranean in the age of Nero, encountering en route type-figures whom the author wishes to satirize. P.G. Walsh captures the spirit of the original in this new and lively translation. His introduction and detailed notes provide the reader with a comprehensive guide to the meanings and intentions\u003cbr\u003eof the story and the later history of its literary influence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003eFor over 100 years \u003cstrong\u003eOxford World's Classics \u003c\/strong\u003ehas made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
