Apuleius's The Golden Ass, one of a handful of extant ancient
novels, remains relatively unknown. Peter Singer, the renowned
philosopher and author of the modern classic Animal Liberation,
remedies this neglect, bringing the comic tale back to the wider
reading public. With a version stripped of the many tales
extraneous to the main narrative, Singer exposes the core of the
text: the adventures of the man-turned-animal, Lucius. Singer has
teamed with Apuleius scholar and translator Ellen Finkelpearl to
create a delightful rollicking story in which we follow the
adventures of this cocky young man transformed into a donkey,
through his travails, erotic adventures and enlightenment. With
Singer's vision, superbly illustrated by prize-winning artists Anya
and and Varya Kendel, this newly rendered canonical work is bound
to be enjoyed by anyone who cares about human and animal life.
Afterwords by Singer and Finkelpearl assess the significance of The
Golden Ass for our thoughts about animals, ancient and modern.
