"I shall say one thing that is true, and that is that I am a liar." — Lucian of Samosata Before Jules Verne. Before H.G. Wells. There was Lucian. In True History, Lucian of Samosata launches readers into one of the earliest known works of science fiction—an outrageous parody that satirizes everything from ancient myths to pompous historians. Set in a fantastical world of moon men, space battles, giant fish islands, and talking trees, this surreal odyssey boldly mocks the very notion of “truth” in storytelling. Both hilarious and mind-bending, True History is a must-read for fans of satire, speculative fiction, and timeless absurdity.
