Beskrivelse af The Golden Asse
The Golden Asse is a novel written by the Roman author Apuleius in the 2nd century AD. The book tells the story of Lucius, a young man who is transformed into a donkey after meddling with magic. The novel is written in the style of a picaresque, with Lucius traveling through various adventures and meeting a cast of colorful characters along the way, including witches, robbers, and priests. The book is notable for its vivid descriptions of ancient Roman society and its satirical take on contemporary culture. The Golden Asse is also considered a masterpiece of Latin literature and has had a lasting influence on Western literature, including the works of Chaucer and Shakespeare.That such as fill their gorges abundantly with meat and drinke, shall dreame of dire and horrible sights: for I my selfe, not tempering my appetite yester night from the pots of wine, did seeme to see this night strange and cruel visions, that even yet I think my self sprinkled and wet with human blood.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
