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.

In den 236 Zeichnungen dieses Bandes offenbart sich die geniale graphische Begabung des Engländers Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872-1898). Bereits als Zwanzigjähriger entwickelte er einen Sinn für die unter der prüden Oberfläche schlummenrnde Stimmung seiner Zeit und gab diese in vielen eleganten und auch gewagten Zeichnungen wieder, die die viktorianische Gesellschaft schockten und Berdsley zum berüchtigsten Maler seiner Zeit machten. Die Zeichnungen des jungen Mannes kamen in Mode. Dies war durchaus Beardsleys Ziel, da er aufgrund einer schweren Krankheit wusste, dass ihm keine Zeit blieb, auf großen Ruhm zu warten. Beardsley illustrierte u. a. "Morte d'Arthur„ und Oscar Wildes Skansalstück “Salome„, außerdem war er als Kunstredakteur der Zeitschrift “The Yellow Press" tätig. Seine sensationellen Schwarz-Weiß-Zeichnungen, Titelseiten und Cover machten ihn endgültig einer breiten Öffentlichkeit bekannt. Beardsley starb am 16. März 1898 im Alter von nur 25 Jahren an Tuberkolose. Seine Werke jedoch beeinflussten viele ihm nachfolgende Künstler der Art Nouveau wie Pape, Mucha und Clarke.
