作者简介

Lucian (ca. 120–190 CE), the satirist from Samosata on the Euphrates, started as an apprentice sculptor, turned to rhetoric and visited Italy and Gaul as a successful travelling lecturer, before settling in Athens and developing his original brand of satire. Late in life he fell on hard times and accepted an official post in Egypt.

Although notable for the Attic purity and elegance of his Greek and his literary versatility, Lucian is chiefly famed for the lively, cynical wit of the humorous dialogues in which he satirises human folly, superstition and hypocrisy. His aim was to amuse rather than to instruct. Among his best works are A True Story (the tallest of tall stories about a voyage to the moon), Dialogues of the Gods (a ’reductio ad absurdum’ of traditional mythology), Dialogues of the Dead (on the vanity of human wishes), Philosophies for Sale (great philosophers of the past are auctioned off as slaves), The Fisherman (the degeneracy of modern philosophers), The Carousal or Symposium (philosophers misbehave at a party), Timon (the problems of being rich), Twice Accused (Lucian’s defence of his literary career) and (if by Lucian) The Ass (the amusing adventures of a man who is turned into an ass).

用户评价

这本书给我带来的冲击，久久不能平复。我很少读到能将史诗般的格局与个体命运的悲歌融合得如此完美的著作。作者的想象力简直是天马行空，构建的世界观宏大且逻辑自洽，充满了令人着迷的细节。尤其是对某些特定文化元素的描绘，那种考究和尊重，让我这个文化爱好者都忍不住要为之鼓掌。阅读过程中，我多次停下来，反复咀渎某些段落，试图完全吸收其文字背后的力量和韵味。它不仅仅是一个故事，更像是一部深刻的历史文献，只不过是以一种最引人入胜的方式呈现出来。如果你追求的阅读体验是超越日常的、具有里程碑意义的，那么请务必拿起它。

坦白讲，我起初对厚重的篇幅有些望而却步，但一旦开始阅读，时间仿佛就失去了意义。这本书的魅力在于其无与伦比的代入感。作者仿佛是一位技艺高超的魔术师，用文字编织出了一张密不透风的情节之网，让人甘愿被困其中。我特别喜欢其中关于“选择与后果”的主题探讨，处理得极其深刻且不落俗套。那些配角们也刻画得栩栩如生，他们各自的命运线索交织在一起，构成了一幅复杂的人性画卷。读完整本书，我感觉自己像是经历了一场漫长而充实的冒险，收获远超想象。这是一部值得反复品味、每次都能发现新亮点的杰作。

这部作品，我简直是爱不释手！作者的叙事技巧简直是炉火纯青，每一个转折都出人意料，却又在情理之中。角色塑造得极为立体，他们的挣扎、他们的喜悦，都深深地牵动着我的心弦。我常常在阅读时，仿佛能闻到空气中弥漫的尘土和火药味，感受到角色们内心的波澜壮阔。那些细致入微的场景描写，让我仿佛身临其境，完全沉浸在这个光怪陆离的世界里。这本书的节奏把握得恰到好处，时而如疾风骤雨，令人屏息凝神；时而又如涓涓细流，让人沉醉于细腻的情感之中。读完之后，那种意犹未尽的感觉，让我迫不及待地想与人分享这份震撼与感动。我强烈推荐给所有热爱深度叙事和复杂人物刻画的读者，相信你们也会和我一样，被它深深吸引。

这本小说无疑是今年我读过的最令人耳目一新的作品之一。它的叙事视角非常独特，时而宏观审视，时而又聚焦于某个微不足道的瞬间，这种跳跃反而让整体的叙事更具层次感和张力。作者的语言风格多变，时而冷峻犀利，时而温柔缱绻，完美匹配了不同场景下的氛围需求。我尤其欣赏作者在描绘主角心路历程时所展现出的细腻笔触，那种内心的挣扎和最终的释然，简直写到了我的心坎里。这本书的魅力在于它拒绝给出简单的答案，而是引导读者自己去探索和构建意义，这对于喜欢深度思考的我来说，简直是醍醐灌顶。

说实话，一开始我只是抱着试试看的心态翻开这本书的，没想到却被它一下子抓住了。它的文字功力非凡，用词精准而富有画面感，读起来简直是一种享受。作者对人性的洞察力令人惊叹，笔下的人物绝不是简单的善恶标签，而是充满了矛盾和成长的复杂个体。我特别欣赏作者在处理冲突时的那种张弛有度，既有大开大合的场面，也有微妙的心理博弈，让人拍案叫绝。而且，故事情节的推进丝毫不拖沓，每一个章节都像一块拼图，紧密地结合在一起，最终构建出一个宏大而精密的结构。这本书不仅提供了娱乐，更引发了我对许多社会现象和哲学问题的深入思考。这是一次酣畅淋漓的阅读体验，我给予最高的评价。
