About this Item

This beautiful set of two classic titles is something truly unique! Each has been re-bound in a distinctive blue clothbound cover and has gained a new lease of life as a result of this! The original scholars who attempted to translate 'The golden Ass' had a very difficult time. One remarked that Apuleius wrote 'in so dark and high a style, in so strange and absurd words and in such invented new phrases, as he seemed rather to set it forth to show his magnificent prose than to participate his doings to others'. This set of books is both as eccentric and wonderful as their original authors and is a wonderful addition to any home collection. Title: Caesar the Conquest of Gaul and Apuleius The Golden Ass Author: Translated by Robert Graves and S. A. Handford Publisher: Penguin Publication Date: Undated Format: Clothbound Condition: The books are in good condition for their age. Both have been re-bound with a clothcover.
