In form it is an episodic picaresque novel. This edition was translated by William Adlington, and contains an Introduction by E. B. Osborn, and sixteen (16) full page erotic illustrations by Jean de Bosschere, along with many other partial page drawings. Jean de Bosschere (illustrator).…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Golden Ass of Apuleius', also known as the 'Metamorphoses', stands as the only ancient Roman novel to survive in its entirety. A masterpiece of picaresque fiction and satire, the narrative follows the misadventures of a young provincial man named Lucius. Driven by an insatiable curiosity for the occult, Lucius attempts to transform himself into a bird but accidentally turns into a donkey instead. Through the eyes of this beast of burden, the reader is taken on a sprawling journey across the Roman Empire, encountering a vibrant cast of thieves, sorcerers, and commoners.The work is perhaps most famous for containing the enchanting story of 'Cupid and Psyche', a profound allegory of the soul's quest for divine union. As Lucius endures numerous hardships and humiliations in his animal form, his physical journey parallels a spiritual awakening that eventually leads to a powerful encounter with the goddess Isis.
