Story
Can jokes win a hostile room, a hopeless argument, or even an election? You bet they can, according to Cicero, and he knew what he was talking about. One of Rome's greatest politicians, speakers, and lawyers, Cicero was also reputedly one of antiquity's funniest people. After he was elected commander-in-chief and head of state, his enemies even started calling him "the stand-up Consul". How to Tell a Joke provides a lively new translation of Cicero's essential writing on humor alongside that of the later Roman orator and educator Quintilian.

Story
Petronius’ Satyricon is a rampant and vivacious Roman adventure dating back to the first century, during the reign of Nero. It follows the exploits of Encolpius, an impoverished ex-gladiator, and his boy-lover Giton. The action is fleet and the narrative sweeping: over the course of their journey we meet a host of lewd and comical rogues, including beggars, prostitutes, poets, sodomites, and pedants, and witness many strange and curious events, including a remarkably vulgar multi-course feast, hosted by the pompous nouveau riche Trimalchio

Story
Kuriose Anekdoten, unfassbare Erzählungen und überraschende Fakten: die Antike bietet viel mehr als nur trockene Geschichtsschreibung! Schon die alten Griechen und Römer sammelten mit Vorliebe skurrile und manchmal skandalöse Erzählungen, um sie weiterzuerzählen. Die spannendsten dieser Geschichten stellt Philip Matyszak in diesem Buch vor: mit viel Humor berichtet er von abenteuerlichen Reisen, romantischen Eskapaden und vielem mehr. Auch wenn die ein oder andere Geschichte auf den ersten Blick unglaublich erscheint: ein Funken Wahrheit kann immer darin stecken...
