Metamorphosen oder Der goldene Esel

Dear reader, I want to tell you all sorts of amusing tales in this Milesian story that will delight your ears in the most pleasant way. With our 400th volume, we return to our roots with a sense of tradition: Volume 1 of our Other Library gathered "Tales and Dialogues" by Lucian of Samosata, translated from Greek. "Metamorphoses or The Golden Ass" by Apuleius, translated from Latin, is a novel from the 2nd century AD that has influenced literature and the visual arts for 1800 years. It tells the story of the young man Lucius, who, eager for wonders, is transformed by a false magic potion and is now swept through an incredible array of exciting and comical experiences as a donkey with human intelligence. He must come to realize the delicate and astonishing relationships that exist among people.
