Loading... The Golden Ass, or, Lucius' Metamorphosisby Milo Manara
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) Morcys | Dec 29, 2021 |  It occurred to me that with its multiple shifts of narrative voice and setting, The Golden Ass would make a great graphic novel. I was excited to discover that the Italian artist Milo Manara has done just that. Manara's version is probably a good way of getting people interested in the classics, but doesn't really do the original justice; he has stripped the narrative down to the most erotic parts of the original text, in a setting thronged with nubile and improbably nude young women. Rather oddly, he injects a couple of political reflections into Lucius' thought processes which I did not really find in the original. It's fun but not the real thing.

Is an adaptation of
The salacious graphic novel adaptation of one of classic Roman literature's most legendary stories, as told by one of eroticas' most legendary artists, Milo Manara. The adventures of a young man whose fascination with witchcraft leads him to be transformed into a donkey. Passing from owner to owner, young Lucius runs afoul of thieves, sorcerers, and beautiful women in his search for salvation. Inspired by "The Golden Ass of Apuleius," an ancient story that has inspired generations of writers, this titillating tale is a must-have for Manara fans. For mature audiences.
