Description
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.
