Lucian's Place


Book Description

No matter what age we live in, we are pretty much like our ancestors: We eat what Og ate two hundred thousand years ago, we still reproduce and love basically the same way, and most importantly, we all average three score and ten life spans. This is a little better than Og but not much in the larger scheme of things. Lucianas Place is a story of three people thrown back in time with just themselves, a huge plantation, two horses, and a self-aware computer. Two of these people are a mother and daughter. Our third unintended time traveler is the best friend of the late father and husband of the other two sole inhabitants of Earth. This story is of hope and a prediction of the miracles of science just a very few years off in our lifetime. Itas funny, loving, sexy, thrilling, and prophetic.

Lucian's a true story


Book Description

The aim of this book is to make Lucian's A True Story accessible to intermediate students of Ancient Greek. The running vocabulary and commentary are meant to provide everything necessary to read each page. Lucian's A True Story is a great text for intermediate readers. Its breathless narrative does not involve many complex sentences or constructions; there is some unusual vocabulary and a few departures from Attic Greek, but for the most part it is a straightforward narrative that is fun and interesting by one of antiquity's cleverest authors. In A True Story, Lucian parodies accounts of fanciful adventures and travel to incredible places by authors such as Ctesias and Iambulus. The story's combination of mockery and learning makes it an excellent example of the Greek literature of the imperial period. Revised August, 2014.
