Sarah Ruden, a lyric poet as well as a highly respected translator, skillfully duplicates the verbal high jinks of Apuleius's ever-popular novel. It tells the story of Lucius, a curious and silly young man, who is turned into a donkey when he meddles with witchcraft. Doomed to wander from region to region and mistreated by a series of deplorableand#160;owners, Lucius at last is restored to human form with the help of the goddess Isis.The Golden Ass, the first Latin novel to survive in its entirety, is related to the Second Sophistic, a movement of learned and inventive literature. In a translation that is both the most faithful and the most entertaining to date, Ruden reveals to modern readers the vivid, farcical ingenuity of Apuleius's style. 606 $aMetamorphosis$vFiction 606 $aMythology, Classical$vFiction 615 0$aMetamorphosis 615 0$aMythology, Classical 676 $a873/.01 700 $aApuleius$0439295 701 $aRuden$b Sarah$01475400 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779080003321 996 $aThe golden ass$93694562 997 $aUNINA
