The Golden Ass of Lucius Apuleius

Beschreibung

The Golden Ass of Lucius Apuleius, translated from Latin by William Adlington, edited by F.J. Harvey Darton, and illustrated by Philip Hagreen (London, 1924), in 357 bookmarked and searchable pdf pages. Wikipedia has entries on the 2nd-century author (Lucius Apuleius) and on his often-hilarious novel, The Golden Ass , which also is "the only surviving work of literature from the ancient Greco-Roman world to examine, from a first-hand perspective, the abhorrent condition of the lower classes."  Attached to the document is a multilingual HTML version of A.S. Kline's English translation (2013), which is more accurate. Book digitized by Google and compiled by Robert Bedrosian. From Wikipedia: "[Apuleius'] most famous work is his bawdy picaresque novel the Metamorphoses, otherwise known as The Golden Ass. It is the only Latin novel that has survived in its entirety. It relates the adventures of its protagonist, Lucius, who experiments with magic and is accidentally turned into a donkey. Lucius goes through various adventures before he is turned back into a human being by the goddess Isis."
