The Transformations of Lucius Otherwise Known as The Golden Ass a New Translation by Robert Graves from Apuleius, published in 1951. The story is about Lucius Apuleius, a young man of good birth, who, while disporting himself int he cities and along the roads of Thessaly, encountered many diverting and strange adventures. Not the least of these was that Apuleius offended a priestess of the White Goddess, and for his offense suffered the indignity of being turned into an ass. How Apuleius supported his misfortune and how he contrived at last to appease the Goddess and resume his human form make up the body of the tale. Hardcover with original jacket with light shelfwear to corners and ends.
