Luciano Di Samosata, >La Nave O Le Preghiere - Gianluigi Tomassi - Bog

In The Ship or the Wishes, the view of a gigantic Egyptian sea-worthy grain ship starts the fantasies of Adimantus, Samippus and Timolaus, whose trivial wishes are derided by Lycinus, Lucian¿s alias and iconic satirical character. The work reflects on the complex dream-reality relationship and encourages the readers to wonder about the reason why men like chasing after the impossible without aspiring to real happiness.
