«El Satiricón» is Petronius's satirical novel, published by Grupo Libro 88 in hardcover (179 pages, in Spanish).
El Satiricón is a satire of Roman life in Nero's time, narrated by Encolpius, a young man of modest means who travels with his friends across the southern Mediterranean. Preserved only in fragments, it mixes prose and verse and portrays a world of corruption and licentiousness; it is one of the few novelistic testimonies of ancient Rome.
