Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A biting satire of imperial Rome, Lucius Seneca's 'Apocolocyntosis' lampoons the recently deceased Emperor Claudius with merciless wit. This short but potent work imagines Claudius's journey to the afterlife, where his merits are debated - and found severely lacking. A masterclass in political humor, Seneca's sharp observations and clever wordplay offer a glimpse into the political climate of ancient Rome and the sentiments surrounding its rulers. 'Apocolocyntosis,' meaning 'Pumpkinification,' suggests the absurd fate awaiting the emperor, transformed into something ridiculous and unworthy.
