Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Apuleius was a Numidian Latin prose writer, Platonist philosopher, and rhetorician. He was born in the Roman province of Numidia, in the Berber city of Madauros, which is now known as M'Daourouch in Algeria. He studied Platonism in Athens, traveled to Italy, Asia Minor, and Egypt, and was initiated into various cults and mysteries. The most well-known occurrence in his life occurred when he was accused of utilizing magic to attract the attention (and fortune) of a wealthy widow. He declaimed and then presented his own defense to the proconsul and a magistrates' court in Sabratha, near Oea (modern Tripoli, Libya). This is known as an apologia. His most renowned work is the raunchy picaresque novel Metamorphoses, sometimes known as The Golden Ass. It is the only Latin novel that has survived intact. It follows the experiences of its main character, Lucius, who plays with magic and is unintentionally transformed into a donkey. Lucius travels on several adventures until being transformed back into a human person by the goddess Isis.
Von der hinteren Coverseite
This edition, the first with a full commentary in English to appear for eighty years, sensitively elucidates the subtle art with which this transformation has been accomplished, and comprehensively illustrates both Apuleius' inventive handling of his various models and sources and the exuberant and idiosyncratic Latinity which forms the vehicle for it.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Apuleius' story of Cupid and Psyche, the relationship of the human Soul with divine Love, is one of the great allegories of world literature. It forms an integral part of and profoundly illuminates the message of his novel Metamorphoses or The Golden Ass, which relates the adventures of a young man and his spiritual fall and redemption. To enrich and deepen his basic plot, the origins of which are obscure, Apuleius has combined poetic sources, Platonic philosophy and popular iconography in an unprecedented tour de force of literary creation. This edition sensitively elucidates the subtle art with which this transformation has been accomplished, and comprehensively illustrates both Apuleius' inventive handling of his various models and sources and the exuberant and idiosyncratic Latinity with forms the vehicle for it. It places in a fresh light the results of recent work on the ancient Novel and on Apuleius himself, and offers a stimulating, occasionally provocative, reading of his much-discussed text. The Latin is accompanied by a facing English translation, making the edition more accessible to students of comparative literature as well as to classicists. Artikel-Nr. CIN0521278139G

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (.), 1990. Reprint 1995. X,242p. Paperback. ?L?intérêt et la qualité de cette édition du ?Conte d?Amour et Psyché? sont manifestés dès les pages d?introduction, où E.-J. Kenney pose et analyse les données essentielles de la problématique du texte: questions intéressant l?auteur, son projet, l?économie générale des ?Metamorphoses?, la signification du ?conte?, ses sources et modèles, les perspectives narratives, le style et le language. Cette introduction ne propose pas seulement en effet un état parfaitement actualisé des recherches, mais constitue surtout une présentation sérieusement documentée, compétente, mesurée et judicieuse. (?) Une même érudition maîtrisée et une même intelligence critique marquent l?établissement du texte de cette édition. (?) À la fois riche et sobre, largement documenté et personnel, solidement étayé dans son argumentation, le commentaire proposé se révèle particulièrement éclairant pour le lecteur, que celui-ci soit, ou non, déjà familier avec l?oeuvre d?Apulée. (?) Complétée par une bibliographie, par un index des mots latins et par un index général, cette excellente édition du ?Conte d?Amour et Psyché?, instrument précieux de travail, favorisera une lecture incontestablement plus précise et profonde, non seulement du ?Conte d?Amour et Psyché, mais de l?ensemble aussi des ?Métamorphoses?.?
