Senza bisogno di ricordare la solita citazione della mensa di Trimalcione, l'attualità di questo romanzo consiste proprio nella capacità dell'autore di mettere in scena e di rendere vere protagoniste la volgarità e l'arroganza del "parvenu": insomma proprio come oggi...
Direi che si tratta di un libro certamente da leggere, soprattutto se si trova una traduzione abbastanza moderna ed attuale.

In my opinion, this is the case of a real "antique novel": a catchy reading and story, grotesque characters, an entire world of ridiculed nouveau riche "liberti"...
Without reminding the usual citation of the Trimalchio's Dinner, the modernity of this novel is essentially in the author's capability to make vulgarity and arrogance of many human types of his time as real protagostists of the entire story: like nowadays...
I thus suggest the reading of this book above all with a modern and up-to-date translation.
