The Golden Asse is a novel written by Apuleius, also known as Lucius, in the 2nd century AD. The story follows the adventures of a young man named Lucius who, through his curiosity and recklessness, is transformed into a donkey. Lucius then embarks on a journey through the ancient Roman world, encountering a variety of characters and situations. Along the way, he witnesses and participates in strange and often humorous events, including a series of magic spells, a visit to the underworld, and a love affair with a beautiful woman who is also under a spell. Through his experiences, Lucius learns valuable lessons about the dangers of excess and the importance of self-control. The Golden Asse is considered a classic of ancient literature and is known for its vivid and imaginative storytelling, as well as its commentary on the human condition.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.
