With precision, cleverness, and intellect, this exceptional new translation of "The Golden Ass" breathes fresh life into Apuleius's classic work. Sarah Ruden, a talented lyric poet and esteemed translator, expertly captures the playful wordplay of Apuleius's enduring novel. The story follows Lucius, a curious and foolish young man who is transformed into a donkey after dabbling in witchcraft. Forced to wander from place to place and mistreated by a series of cruel owners, Lucius is ultimately restored to human form with the assistance of the goddess Isis.
"The Golden Ass," the only surviving complete Latin novel, is connected to the Second Sophistic movement, characterized by sophisticated and inventive literature. In her translation, Ruden not only remains faithful to the original text but also brings out the vibrant and comical brilliance of Apuleius's writing for modern readers to enjoy.
