Présentation de l'éditeur
The Metamorphoses of Apuleius is a work singular of its kind, a genuine ancient romance, written at the beginning of the second century, replete with; graphic and characterise? descriptioiisr scenes and incidents, exhibiting, in infinite variety, the habits, man-; ners, and customs prevailing among the people in the I, provinces subject to the Eoman empire. Under thej form of a personal narrative, interspersed with episodes, are collected interesting, instructive, and amusing sketches relating to popular superstitions, religious ceremonies, social entertainments, proceedings of courts of law, dramatic spectacles of the amphitheatres, hordes of robbers, c, c, c. Nevertheless, although the detail of marvellous and fabulous adventures, mingled with the common occurrences of every-day life at such an early period, must naturally be a species of light reading, calculated above all things to engage the attention of the general public, there is perhaps no work of the ancient writers with which they are so little acquainted.
