Wenjing Classical Illustrated Edition of Famous Translations: Comedies of Aristophanes (Eight Volumes in Total)

"Comedies of Aristophanes" includes Luo Niansheng's translation of "The Arcanaeans", "Knights", "Clouds", "Hornets", "Women on Earth Mother's Day" and "Frog", Yang Xianyi's translation of "Birds", and Zhou Zuoren's translation of "The God of Wealth". The era in which Aristophanes lived was an era of deepening political and economic crises in Athens. The social contradictions at that time were complex and acute. Therefore, Aristophanes was good at using absurd and exaggerated plots to criticize the civil war, corruption, crisis, and degeneration in reality. At the same time, he also showed his cherishment of the heroic era and traditional spirit. His comedies have a distinct rhythm, rich jokes, funny everywhere, simple words, and the lyrical poems are elegant in style and full of wit, so they are widely welcomed by readers.
