520 1 $a"A.D. 66 - Having been falsely implicated in a plot to assassinate the emperor Nero, Titus Petronius has a choice: await the executioner at dawn, or die a noble Roman death by his own hand. Deciding that his will be a suicide like no other the world has ever seen, he summons a small circle of intimate friends to his villa on the Tyrrhenian coast of southern Italy. There, over the course of a balmy autumns night, Petronius throws the party of a lifetime." "As they feast on course after course of the most sumptuous fare the empire has to offer, his guests are expressly forbidden to dwell on the imminent tragedy; instead, they are enjoined to sing, eat, drink, and celebrate. But as his life dwindles to a few precious hours, Petronius himself cannot shake off the ghosts of his past or his regret over mistakes that can no longer be set right. The love of his life is at his side, yet they are estranged. With the fateful dawn approaching, he recalls their great and tragic love affair and his years as Nero's "Arbiter of Elegance." Not until the very end will he bequeath his magnum opus, the Satyricon, to posterity."--BOOK JACKET.
