In this meticulously translated version, Michael J. Ryan presents not only the original tale but also offers valuable insights through his introduction and notes, enhancing the reader's understanding of the cultural and historical context. The elegant leather binding adds a touch of sophistication, making this edition a true collector's item.

As readers navigate through the intricacies of Roman life, they will find themselves immersed in a rich tapestry of characters and events, where humor and critique coexist in Petronius's sharp prose. This timeless work continues to resonate, inviting new generations to reflect on the follies of human behavior in the pursuit of wealth and prestige.
