IS COMEDY THE WEAPON OF THE WEAK AGAINST ALL POWER? DO WE NEED OUR COMIC POETS TODAY? WHY DOES POWER FEAR SATIRE;
In this book, we meet Aristophanes at the Theatre of Dionysus, the greatest comic poet of the classical era. He explains how the poisonous arrows of his comedy defeated the demagogues, warmongers, and all the hypocrites of his time and speaks to us about the power of satirical speech against the tyrants of all ages.
A book that will make us laugh until we cry, but also make us look in the mirror, realizing that two and a half thousand years later, the issues Aristophanes satirized are still problems of today's societies.
AN ENJOYABLE COFFEE WITH THE MAN WHO KNEW WELL THAT HUMOR IS THE BEST WAY TO TALK ABOUT SERIOUS MATTERS!
