Selections From Lucian is a book edited by Charles R. Williams that presents a collection of writings by the ancient Greek satirist Lucian. Lucian was a prolific writer who lived in the second century AD and is known for his humorous and irreverent style. The book includes a variety of Lucian's works, including his famous satirical dialogues, which mock the beliefs and practices of various religious and philosophical groups of his time. The book also includes some of Lucian's shorter pieces, such as his humorous anecdotes and epigrams. The writings are presented in English translation, with an introduction and notes by Williams that provide historical and cultural context for the works. This book is an excellent introduction to the work of Lucian for anyone interested in ancient Greek literature, satire, or humor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
