"This version by a translator who understands the high art of low humor is conspicuously funny." Time"William Arrowsmith's translation of The Satyricon meets the two fundamental requirements of the translator's art: perfect fidelity to the original and a vitality of style that tempts the reader to believe that the English version is not a translation. A classic of literature." Allen Tate"Arrowsmith's brilliant translation at one stroke renders every other version obsolete." London Times Literary Supplement
