According to Wikipedia: "True History or True Story is a travel tale by the Greek-speaking Syrian author Lucian of Samosata, the earliest known fiction about travelling to outer space, alien life-forms and interplanetary warfare. 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. He is noted for his witty and scoffing nature. "

      Apostolo dell’estetismo di Ruskin e di Pater, squisito imitatore dei melodiosi preziosismi di Gautier (ma anche di Hugo, Flaubert e Huysmans), Oscar Wilde ancora oggi incanta e conquista soprattutto per il prodigioso scintillio della sua prosa, specie lì dove si fa paradossale ironia nel ritrarre spietatamente la società del suo tempo. In questi aforismi sulle donne e sull'amore tornano all'orecchio le irresistibili battute di personaggi celeberrimi creati dallo scrittore, soprattutto "eroine delle sue commedie, da lady Windermere alla "zia Augusta Bracknell" di The Importance of Being Earnest, in un pirotecnico susseguirsi di motti di spirito.

      Der englische Maler und Schriftsteller Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898), der vor allem durch seine Illustrationen f r Oscar Wildes "Salome" Ber hmtheit erlangte, starb bereits im Alter von 25 Jahren an Tuberkulose. Trotz einer kurzen Schaffensperiode von nur sechs Jahren ver ffentlichte er mehr als 1000 Zeichnungen, die Charakteristika des Jugendstil und der Dekadenz ausdrucksvoll miteinander verbinden. Als Autor ist Beardsley nur noch den Wenigsten bekannt. "Unter dem H gel," eine Novelle, in deren Mittelpunkt die Legende von Tannh user und Venus steht, ist sein wohl wichtigstes Werk. Aufgrund der erotischen Elemente, die sie enth lt, von vielen Zeitgenossen Beardsleys als frivole Skandalliteratur diffamiert, gilt die Erz hlung heute als ein besonderes Beispiel f r die facettenreiche Literatur des Fin de Si cle. Nachdruck der Originalausgabe aus dem fr hen 20. Jahrhundert.
