About the book
A classic work from Roman antiquity, Juvenal's Satires constitute a virulent and biting record of life in Imperial Rome. With crude language and merciless observation, the poet attacks the vices, hypocrisies, and absurdities of his time's society, from political corruption to the excesses of urban life.
This volume remains surprisingly relevant, as the universal themes of greed, folly, and human vanity are as recognizable today as they were two thousand years ago.
