Summary "La metamorfosis, o, El asno de oro" by Apuleius is a satirical novel written in the 2nd century AD. The story follows the adventures of Lucio Apuleyo, a young man who, due to his curiosity about magic, finds himself transformed into a donkey and embroiled in various mishaps, highlighting the follies and vices of human nature. Through his experiences, the narrative explores themes of transformation, desire, and the nature of the human condition. The opening of the novel introduces us to Lucio Apuleyo, who sets out on a journey to Tesalia, seeking knowledge of magic. Along the way, he encounters two companions who recount astonishing tales of sorcery, sparking his interest in the occult. Upon arriving in Hipata, he takes shelter in the home of Milón, a miserly man, and finds himself intrigued by Andria, Milón's maid. As Apuleyo navigates his new surroundings, interactions with his companions reveal the underlying dangers of the magical arts and foreshadow his impending transformations and challenges in a world rife with enchantments and absurdities.
