Written in the 2nd century, the novel has been referred to as "the first known text that could be called science fiction". The work was intended by Lucian as a satire against contemporary and ancient sources, which quote fantastic and mythical events as truth... Lucian of Samosata (Greek: Λουκιανός ὁ Σαμοσατεύς, Latin: Lucianus Samosatensis; c. A.D. 125 – after A.D. 180) was a rhetorician, and satirist who wrote in the Greek language.

Nella vasta e varia produzione dell'autore irlandese più amato - e insieme più odiato - nell'Inghilterra vittoriana, questa vivacissima raccolta di aforismi pubblicata nel 1901, ossia un anno dopo la morte, rappresenta la quintessenza del suo stile di vita, di pensiero e di scrittura. In frasi spesso fulminanti ed efficacissime, infatti, egli sa esprimere le riflessioni e gli affetti più profondi, originali e sentiti. In verità, sotto numerose battute scintillanti e paradossali, solo in apparenza ciniche, grottesche e superficiali, s'intravede una personalità irrequieta, ipercritica e oltremodo insofferente, che in poche righe riesce genialmente a comunicare una visione severa ed amara dell'esistenza, della morale e della società.

In den 236 Zeichnungen dieses Bandes offenbart sich die geniale graphische Begabung des Engländers Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872-1898). Bereits als Zwanzigjähriger entwickelte er einen Sinn für die unter der prüden Oberfläche schlummenrnde Stimmung seiner Zeit und gab diese in vielen eleganten und auch gewagten Zeichnungen wieder, die die viktorianische Gesellschaft schockten und Berdsley zum berüchtigsten Maler seiner Zeit machten. Die Zeichnungen des jungen Mannes kamen in Mode. Dies war durchaus Beardsleys Ziel, da er aufgrund einer schweren Krankheit wusste, dass ihm keine Zeit blieb, auf großen Ruhm zu warten. Beardsley illustrierte u. a. "Morte d'Arthur„ und Oscar Wildes Skansalstück “Salome„, außerdem war er als Kunstredakteur der Zeitschrift “The Yellow Press" tätig. Seine sensationellen Schwarz-Weiß-Zeichnungen, Titelseiten und Cover machten ihn endgültig einer breiten Öffentlichkeit bekannt. Beardsley starb am 16. März 1898 im Alter von nur 25 Jahren an Tuberkolose. Seine Werke jedoch beeinflussten viele ihm nachfolgende Künstler der Art Nouveau wie Pape, Mucha und Clarke.

Aubrey Beardsley's unfinished novella from 1895 explores the legendary relationship between Tannhäuser and Venus, unfolding an erotic fantasy. Initially dismissed by critics as an expression of decadent frivolity, the work is now regarded as a significant example of narrative art from the Fin de siècle, reflecting the cultural currents of its time.

Salomé, la tragédie in un atto che segna il primo grande successo teatrale di Wilde, racconta la storia biblica in cui la figliastra del tetrarca Erode Antipa chiede la testa di Giovanni Battista su un piatto d'argento come ricompensa per la sua danza, esibita per il divertimento del patrigno. Scritto nel 1891 e preparato per la prima rappresentazione nel 1892, le prove di Salomé dovettero essere annullate quando l'opera fu vietata dal Lord Chamberlain a causa della sua rappresentazione di personaggi religiosi. Indifferente a questo ostacolo, Wilde si dedicò alle commedie di salotto e di società, per le quali è oggi maggiormente conosciuto, incantando il pubblico londinese con Lady Windermere's Fan e A Woman of No Importance. Solo nel 1894 Salomé vide la luce in una traduzione inglese, accompagnata da una serie di illustrazioni commissionate appositamente dal promettente Aubrey Beardsley.
