Metamorphoses - or "The Golden Ass"
(Asinus aureus)
2008
Apuleius's Golden Ass is a unique, entertaining, and thoroughly readable Latin novel--the only work of fiction in Latin to have survived from antiquity. It tells the story of the hero Lucius, whose curiosity and fascination for sex and magic results in his transformation into an ass. The Golden Ass is one of the earliest examples of the picaresque.
