La Metamorfosis, also known as El Asno de Oro (The Golden Ass), is the only Latin novel that has survived in its entirety. Written by Apuleius in the 2nd century AD, this enduring classic tells the fantastical tale of Lucius, a man with a keen interest in magic, who is accidentally transformed into a donkey. Through his adventures as an ass, Lucius experiences the world from a unique perspective, encountering a wide array of characters and witnessing both the best and worst of human nature.
This edition presents Apuleius' masterpiece in a Spanish translation by Diego LÃ3pez de Cortegana, offering a rich and accessible reading experience for Spanish-speaking audiences. A work of satire, adventure, and philosophical insight, La Metamorfosis remains a vital and entertaining work of literature, offering timeless reflections on identity, transformation, and the human condition.
