The Golden Asse - Classic Illustrated Edition

* Beautifully illustrated with atmospheric paintings by renowned artists, The Golden Asse is the only Ancient Roman novel in Latin to survive in its entirety. The story revolves around the protagonist's curiosity and insatiable desire to see and practice magic. While trying to perform a spell to transform into a bird, he is accidentally transformed into an ass. This leads to a long journey, literal and metaphorical, filled with in-set tales. He finally finds salvation through the intervention of the goddess Isis, whose cult he joins.

* Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's readers as it would have been when first published, the novel is one of the great works of world literature and continues to be widely read.

* This meticulous digital edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and is enhanced with images of classic works of art carefully selected by our team of professional editors.
