Description: "The Roman poet Juvenal (c. A.D. 60-130) left sixteen satires, which contain some of the bitterest and most incisive descriptions of life under the corrupt Roman empire, and some of the finest realistic and pessimistic poetry ever written. This is the first book in any language to give a full account of the man and his work."--Back cover.
