Lavish hardcover reproduction of the ancient world''s only surviving novel reprints a 1923 edition with William Adlington''s highly readable 16th-century translation, eight color plates, and numerous black-and-white images by Jean de Bosschère.
Written in the second century A.D., this picaresque classic is the ancient world''s only surviving complete novel. Concerning an inquisitive young man transformed into an ass by a magic potion, the narrative digresses into other tales of love, intrigue, and witchcraft ― a story-within-a-story technique that inspired many later authors, including Boccaccio, Cervantes, and Rabelais. This lavish hardcover edition reproduces the John Lane/Bodley Head version, first published in London in 1923. William Adlington''s highly readable 16th-century translation from Latin to English is enhanced by 16 full-page plates, eight in color, and numerous black-and-white images by noted illustrator Jean de Bosschère.
