Description

Testo latino a fronteUn esperimento di magia finito male, un giovane imprudente trasformato in asino, una sequenza di traversie (e di racconti), fino al provvidenziale intervento di una dea: Iside.Ma cosa sono davvero le Metamorfosi? Solo un racconto divertente o un percorso iniziatico? Il lettore sarà tentato di scoprire indizi di un senso più profondo in una novella diventata famosa nella letteratura europea, la favola di Amore e Psiche, che rispecchia emblematicamente la trama principale in cui è contenuta.La nuova edizione BUR, arricchita da un denso e illuminante saggio di interpretazione, offre una traduzione improntata ad esattezza filologica che, senza voler inseguire lo stile funambolico di Apuleio, riesce a non oscurarne i virtuosismi e fa cogliere la fantasiosa brillantezza di uno dei più irresistibili scrittori della letteratura latina.
