About the Book

El asno de oro, o Las Metamorfosis de Lucio Apuleyo, es la única novela latina completa que se ha podido hallar. Fue escrita en el siglo II d. C., y era una adaptación de un original griego, cuyo autor fuera posiblemente Lucio de Pratae. Es una obra imaginativa, irreverente y entretenida que consigna las ridículas aventuras de un tal Lucio, joven viril obsesionado con la magia. Encontrándose en Tesalia, "cuna de la magia", Lucio busca fervientemente la oportunidad de ser testigo del uso de la magia. Su entusiasmo desmedido lo lleva a verse transformado accidentalmente en asno. Bajo esta forma, Lucio, miembro de la aristocracia romana, se ve forzado a ser testigo y víctima de las miserias de los esclavos y desposeídos, reducidos --al igual que él-- a poco más que bestias de carga debido a su explotación a manos de ricos terratenientes. El Asno de Oro es la única obra de literatura greco-romana antigua en examinar de primera mano la terrible condición de las clases bajas. Sin embargo, a pesar de la seriedad del tema que aborda, la novela no deja de ser imaginativa, ingeniosa, y a menudo sexualmente explícita.
About the Author: Apuleyo, a veces llamado Lucio Apuleyo, fue el escritor romano más importante del siglo II. Posiblemente un bereber muy romanizado, nació en Madaura (ciudad romana de Numidia en la frontera con Getulia), en la actualidad conocida como Mdaourouch (Argelia). Hombre deseoso de conocimientos, Apuleyo se adentró, además de en la filosofía, en la religión, la ciencia y la retórica. Tras ser iniciado en el culto de Isis, marchó a Roma a estudiar retórica.
