Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft Cover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Second printing, 1967. Rare printing. Moderate cover, edge wear, discoloration. Pages good, no writing. Classic '60's cover design. A fresh and accessible translation of this first ever complete novel in recorded history. This unique translation by Robert Graves (1895-1985) a British poet, novelist, translator, and critic. His many books include the historical novels I, Claudius and Claudius the God, the autobiography Good-bye to All That, and the mythic/literary studies The White Goddess and The Greek Myths. In all of literature there are few books with the vitality of The Golden Ass. Boccaccio borrowed freely from it; and later it served both to amuse and to instruct Cervantes, Fielding, and Smollett. T. E. Lawrence carried it in his saddlebags all through the Arab Revolt, and it was Lawrence who first introduced the book to his friend Robert Graves. The story follows Lucius, a young man of good birth, as he disports himself in the cities and along the roads of Thessaly. Wonderful tale abounding in lusty incident, curious adventure and bawdy wit. 293 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book. Seller Inventory # 008113
