The New Lucian Being is a book written by H.D. Traill that consists of a series of dialogues between dead individuals. The book is named after Lucian of Samosata, a Greek satirist and writer who was known for his witty and humorous dialogues. In this book, Traill continues the tradition of Lucian by creating a series of conversations between famous historical figures who have passed away. These conversations touch on a variety of topics, including politics, religion, philosophy, and art. The book offers a unique perspective on history and the personalities that have shaped it, as well as providing insights into the human condition. Overall, The New Lucian Being is an entertaining and thought-provoking read that will appeal to anyone interested in history, philosophy, or literature.1884.
