Eager to learn the rules of magic, Lucius agrees to participate in
a shapeshifting spell that suddenly goes awry, transforming the man
into a donkey. His life is abruptly upended as he is attacked,
stolen and sold multiple times before finding relief through divine
intervention. Lucius is enamored with witchcraft and begs a woman
to transform him into a bird. Unfortunately, she fails, and he is
immediately turned into an ass. This leads to a tumultuous journey
that takes Lucius away from his friends and puts him into the hands
of strangers. He is sold by thieves, cooks and farmers, forced to
engage in strange and laborious tasks. With each owner comes a
different set of obstacles and inevitable misunderstandings. A rare
text stemming from Roman antiquity, The Golden Ass is infused with
mythological elements. The story covers a wide range of topics from
witchcraft to adultery and murder. This expansive narrative has
enough twists to keep any reader on the edge of their seat. With an
eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this
edition of The Golden Ass is both modern and readable.
