描述
The Metamorphoses (the Golden Ass) Of Apuleius (born C. 125 Ce) Is A Romance Combining Realism And Magic. Lucius Wants The Sensations Of A Bird, But By Pharmaceutical Accident Becomes An Ass. The Bulk Of The Novel Recounts His Adventures As An Animal, But Lucius Also Recounts Many Stories He Overhears, Including That Of Cupid And Psyche. In The Metamorphoses Of Apuleius, Also Known As The Golden Ass, We Have The Only Latin Novel Which Survives Entire. It Is Truly Enchanting: A Delightful Romance Combining Realism And Magic. The Hero, Lucius, Eager To Experience The Sensations Of A Bird, Resorts To Witchcraft But By An Unfortunate Pharmaceutical Error Finds Himself Transformed Into An Ass. He Knows He Can Revert To His Own Body By Eating Rose-petals, But These Prove Singularly Elusive; And The Bulk Of The Work Describes His Adventures As An Animal. He Also Retails Many Stories That He Overheard, The Most Charming Being That Of Cupid And Psyche (beginning, In True Fairy-tale Fashion, Erant In Quadam Civitate Rex Et Regina). Some Of The Stories Are As Indecent As They Are Witty, And Two In The Ninth Book Were Deemed By Boccaccio Worthy Of Inclusion In The Decameron. At Last The Goddess Isis Takes Pity On Lucius. In A Surprising Denouement, He Is Restored To Human Shape And, Now Spiritually Regenerated, Is Initiated Into Her Mysteries. The Author's Baroque Latin Style Nicely Matches His Fantastic Narrative And Is Guaranteed To Hold A Reader's Attention From Beginning To End. J. Arthur Hanson Was At The Time Of His Death In 1985 Giger Professor Of Latin At Princeton University. His Publications Include Roman Theater-temples.

备用描述
"These rhetorical texts by Apuleius, second-century Latin writer and author of the famous novel Metamorphoses or Golden Ass, have not been translated in English since 1909. They are some of the very few Latin speeches surviving from their period, and constitute important evidence for Latin and Roman North African social and intellectual culture in the second century A.D. They are the work of a talented writer who is being increasingly viewed as the major literary artist of his time in Latin."
"The Apologia, Apuleius' self-defence against a charge of magic delivered in North Africa in A.D. 158-9, has been well described as 'a masterpiece of the Second Sophistic'. It is a brilliant, lively, and colourful piece and is the only Latin forensic oration preserved from the second century A.D., providing important evidence for contemporary North African life."
"The Florida ('flowery pieces') is a collection of excerpts deriving from an earlier anthology of Apuleian speeches, most apparently delivered at Carthage in the 160s A.D. As a whole, these passages offer a unique view of the rhetorical practice of a performing intellectual in Latin in the second century A.D. They also give important information on civic life in Carthage through their treatment of proconsuls and the local senate."
"The De Deo Socratis, probably also from the 160s, is an oration in the form of a popular philosophical lecture on the 'god' of Socrates, the inner voice which, according to Plato, advised him. This is the only surviving sophistic declamation in Latin. The material is treated brilliantly by Apuleius, being much ornamented with poetic quotation and rhetorical and stylistic pyrotechnics."--Jacket.
