Rreth këtij libri elektronik

Perhaps the Oldest Science Fiction story from the ancient world : preserved to the modern day. In 'True Histories' ("Trips to the Moon") the main character travels to a weird continent where almost anything is possible. During his travels there he visits the moon (the main subject of True Stories aka Trips to the moon). Other things happened also. At a certain moment he finds himself in the belly of a whale. These comical absurdities are described with the accuracy of a traveling guide. (Amazon)

Rreth autorit

Lucian of Samosata, born around 125 CE in the ancient city of Samosata (modern-day Turkey), was a master satirist and rhetorician whose works have left an indelible mark on Western literature. Emerging from humble beginnings, Lucian's journey from apprentice sculptor to celebrated writer is a testament to his intellectual prowess and wit. His extensive travels across the Roman Empire enriched his perspectives, allowing him to craft sharp, humorous critiques of contemporary society, religion, and philosophy.Lucian's literary contributions are characterized by their playful yet incisive nature. He was a pioneer in the art of the dialogue, using this form to lampoon the absurdities of human behavior and the pretensions of the intellectual elite. His works often blurred the lines between reality and fiction, a technique that has influenced countless writers, including the likes of Jonathan Swift and Voltaire.Notably, Lucian was unafraid to challenge the status quo, often courting controversy with his irreverent takes on sacred subjects. His fearless exploration of themes such as the folly of superstition and the hypocrisy of religious figures resonated with audiences and provoked the ire of some contemporaries. Yet, it is this very audacity that has cemented his legacy as a revolutionary thinker.In an era where conformity was often the norm, Lucian's boldness and originality continue to inspire modern readers and writers. His works remain a testament to the enduring power of satire and the importance of questioning societal norms. Lucian of Samosata stands as a beacon of intellectual freedom and creativity, his voice as relevant today as it was nearly two millennia ago.
